"Antihistamine" in context

Antihistamine is a type of medication that is used to reduce the symptoms caused by histamine, which is a natural substance released by the body when it is attempting to fight off invading foreign substances or allergens. Allergic reactions often result in symptoms such as itchiness, watery eyes, sneezing, runny nose, and rash. Antihistamines are taken by mouth, through a nasal spray, and sometimes as an injection or topical cream.
