Dust, cats, peanuts, flowers, all of these and many other can be the cause of unpleasant allergies. Allergies are a major cause of illness in the United States and millions of children are affected by some type of allergen. Allergies often leave a child sick and uncomfortable and it is estimated that 2 million schooldays are missed each year due to allergies.

Luckily, there are many over-the-counter medications available to treat the unpleasant symptoms associated with seasonal and environmental allergies for adults as well as children. Thompson Pharmacy provides all of the allergy medications you need in various package sizes. More serious allergies, however, need to be evaluated and treated by prescription. You should visit your doctor to explore more advanced forms of treatment.
