Coping With The Allergy Season

05 May

With an estimated 50 million Americans suffering from allergies that are worse than ever this year with the late winter and sudden warm spells, this spring season seems to be extremely bad for those that are allergic to airborne pollen from trees, grass, ragweed and the like.

Fortunately, the season for these difficult allergies will be over soon. It may be helpful to record your allergy symptoms each day and time you have them to help your doctor identify exactly what they are. Of course, you can have testing to identify them as well. Allergy shots are increasingly common for those that feel as though they cannot cope well enough without them.

Some helpful hints according to familydoctor.org are:
1. Showerr or bathe before bedtime to wash off pollen and other allergens in your hair and skin. Avoid going outside on dry, windy days. (We are having lots of these) Keep windows and doors shut, and use an air conditioner at home and in your car.

2. Over the counter antihistamines hlep reduce sneezing, itchiness, and runny nose. Some of these can have some side effects like dry mouth and drowsiness. Cromolyn sodium nasal sprays are also available over the counter but may take up to a few weeks before you really see results. Nasal steroid sprays may help relieve the swelling in your nose so that you feel less stopped up. Eye drops can help with the itchy, water eye syndrome.

3. Allergy shots actually contain small amounts of allergens to help your body to learn not to overreact to allergens over time. They need to be given on a regular basis to be beneficial. The doctor may recommend them for specific allergens when they have been clearly identified as your problem.
