How do you get rid of bad allergies?

How can i get rid of the inflammation and the eye wrinkles caused by allergies?

• Ok so im only 17 and I think I look SO much older than what I really am. This is because I have really bad allergies. I have allergies on my eyeballs and on the eye lid. A lot of times my eyes are inflamed, dry and a little bit red, and very very itchy. When the inflammation goes down I still have bad wrinkles underneath my eyes and black circles and it drives me insane! Because people are always telling me I look so tired or they ask me whats wrong with my eyes and im so tired of it. I want to look young again. These eye wrinkles make me look So dang ugly (although I already was but this makes it worse). I've tired every thing that I could think of. to try and get this to go away. I drink lots of water, I use this ice thing you put in the Freezer to put over your eyes (you can buy them in the cosmetics at walmart), i've used eye drops and ointments and everything eails underneath the sun that is possible for a doctor to prescribe to help my eyes. please oh please oh please help me! Im despreate! I can't stand it anymore. please help me. Thank you for your time and answers ~Sadie

• Answer:

  Go to the drug store and buy a Neti Pot--get extra solution while you are there. Follow the directions! This is the best thing for allergies, sinus, colds, and flu ever! You can often find them on sale--full price will cost about $10. BEST investment you will ever make--trust me. Next, buy some baby shampoo. You are going to use this to GENTLY wash your eyelashes, and eye lids before you go to bed. This removes any residual allergens on your skin--and helps heal it, too. If it is going to take awhile to get the shampoo, start washing now with some mild salt water (1 teaspoon salt to 1 glass water). Next, do NOT go to bed without showering and washing your hair. You track in huge amounts of allergens in your hair every day and on your clothing every day, and those allergens deposit themselves in your bedding when you turn in for the night. Shower! Next, WASH your sheets, pillows, towels, etc.. Allergens are deposited in the bed every night if you fail to shower before you go to bed. By the end of the week, your pillow is loaded. After washing yourself and your bedding, you will now have clean hair--AND a clean pillow! While your sheets, etc., are washing, put a new bag in the vacuum and thoroughly vacuum your mattress, carpet, drapes, etc. Also, use a damp cloth (rinse often) to dust everything in your room. Next, you are going to trot to the store and get some green tea and you are going to make some WONDERFUL eye compresses that are going to destroy those eye wrinkles, bags and circles. Here's how to do it: Heat 1-2 cups of water in the microwave Remove the cup and add 3-5 green tea bags. Let the bags steep for about 5 minutes in the hot water. Put the cup (with the bags) into the refrigerator You are going to use the chilled tea bags as compresses over your poor, itchy eyes. Add more green tea if they dry out as you are relaxing. (The cup of tea can last up to a week.) Apply some of the chilled tea around those wrinkles, too. Green tea is an anti-inflammatory and is WONDERFUL for your skin, too. Try these tips and I think you will see a drastic improvement in the condition in record time. _____________ P.S. Almost forgot! You are also going to need an eye-washing kit from the drug store. They come with a little cup--just follow the directions. You will do that BEFORE applying the baby shampoo to your eyes. You can make your own, but you may want to start with the drug store version until you become used to it.
