The “American College of Allergy, Asthma, and Immunology” has these tips. First, your symptoms depend on what you’re allergic to—whether it’s tree-pollen, grass-pollen, mold, or something else. Allergy-testing can help determine those triggers—which is critical to effective management. Also, while it’s tempting to open windows for fresh air, it can make symptoms worse: If you have pollen-allergies, keep windows closed in your home—and in your car. Instead, use air-conditioning and high-efficiency air-filters—along with showering and changing clothes after spending time outdoors. Finally, while many people use over-the-counter antihistamines or nasal sprays, you should treat your allergies according to your symptoms. If over-the-counter medications aren’t adequately controlling your symptoms, it’s time to see a board-certified allergist. Learn more at “allergy-and-asthma-relief”-dot-org.
