As the weather warms up, so does the likelihood of seasonal allergies.
If you’re one of the many people who suffer from sneezing, congestion, and itchy eyes during this time of year, we’ve got some tips to help keep your symptoms at bay:
1. Keep your windows closed: Although it may be tempting to let the fresh air in, keeping your windows closed can help keep pollen out of your home.
2. Use air conditioning: Using air conditioning can help filter the air in your home and reduce the amount of pollen you breathe in.
3. Stay indoors during peak pollen times: Pollen counts are typically highest in the morning and early afternoon. If possible, try to stay indoors during these times to reduce your exposure.
4. Take a shower after being outside: Taking a quick shower can help wash away any pollen that may be on your skin and hair.
5. Consult with a healthcare provider: If your symptoms are severe or you’re not sure how to manage your allergies, don’t hesitate to consult with a healthcare provider. They can provide you with personalized recommendations and treatment options.
