   Treatment of mold allergy is dependant upon the type and severity of the allergic symptoms. Treatments for mold allergies include:
   Allergen avoidance and minimisation of exposure - maintaining a dry environment in the house and workplace as much as possible.
   Antihistamines - Useful for allergic rhinitis and some allergy mediated skin conditions. Not helpful in asthma except for mild seasonal asthma where allergy may be a precipitant.
   Nasal sprays - including topical steroids and antiinflammatories used for allergic rhinitis
   Eyedrops - ketorolac, levocabastine, ketotifen, olapatadine, for allergic conjunctivitis
   Asthma medications such as inhaled beta agonists and inhaled corticosteroids - used to treat asthma which may have allergy as a contributing factor.
   Oral steroids - used in short courses for moderate allergic reactions especially with asthma symptoms or skin conditions
   Desensitisation - evidence is mixed, and efficacy dependant or the type of allergy symptoms, more evidence for usefulness with allergic rhinitis and conjunctivitis.
