Seasonal Allergies Reviews Part 2
In order to safeguard yourself against this season’s predicted allergy epidemic, keeping your windows and doors shut during hot weather is advised. Opt for using an air conditioner to stay cool and avoid using fans, which only bring more pollen inside rather than filtering it out. On high pollen count days, particularly in the morning, it is best to stay inside and avoid activities that must be done outdoors.
In the beginning of April 2010, one day I went outside and discovered my black Toyota 4Runner completely coated in a dense layer of yellow and green fuzz.
If you find your car covered in something similar, do your best to open the door slowly and with care, to avoid allowing the pollen to blow into your car’s interior. Other common symptoms may include sinus pressure, pressure from behind the eyes, headaches, sore throats and runny noses. A person can develop an allergy at any age. “Seasonal allergies” typically become more mild as the seasons change. Although the term may seem redundant, paying close attention to them is recommended.
For sufferers of seasonal allergies and sensitivity to pollen groups, it may be a good idea to do some homework and find out which types of pollen are abundant in your area. This can help you to customize your treatment plan and minimize outdoor activities which pose the greatest risk to your asthma.
As far as medications go, how do you choose between an over the counter remedy and a prescription solution? Allergy medications are essentially an anti-histamine.
