allergy is a challenge for patient and sometimes doctor too ..please observe a few precautions ...if you are allergic to house dust please cover your nose with handkerchief when you enter your home from outside visit ...regular dusting carpets curtains bed covers sofa covers..and keep your pet away ..wetmopping of floor etc or vacuum cleaning to be done...as a medical part ..keep some antiallergic at hand all times as you may need it any times ..and please rush to DR if you happen to get extensive allergy ...if possible visit a allergist and if possible get desensitization done ...I hope your query is solved .good luck
There are a number of nonpharmacologic options she could try. I recommend hypoallergenic or anti allergen pillow and mattress covers and a small airfilter for her bedroom as first line options. If she has carpets or throw rugs, a vacuum cleaner with a HEPA filter is a good option as well. If she does get hives from time to time an over the counter medicine like zyrtec (cetirizine) is usually very effective.
