Combat Your Allergy Symptoms With This Helpful Advice. Although many people know about allergies and the symptoms associated with this condition, not everyone realizes how troublesome living with allergies can be. Although avoiding the triggers that cause your allergies is a simple solution, this isn’t very effective for those who suffer from symptoms because of particles that are in the air. Keep reading for more tips. When exercising outdoors during peak pollen levels, be sure to do so extremely early or extremely late in the day. Studies have shown pollen counts are lowest during these times. There are countless antihistamine and allergy products available with or without a prescription, but not everyone finds relief from the same products. Speak with your doctor about a getting a sample or else buy the smallest size there is. If that product doesn’t work for you, you won’t be out a lot of money, and you can try another one. If you find yourself fighting allergy symptoms throughout the day, take note of the specific times during which the problems occur. Pollen is at its peak during the hours between 5am and 10am, so it is wise to avoid the outdoors during these hours. If you have to go outside, try not to stay out for very long and limit your activity. Keep the air inside your home free of allergens by keeping the windows closed. Pollen in the air may drift into your home through open windows, where it then aggravates your allergies. You will also want to check and clean the filters in your vents and air conditioner to prevent allergens too. When planning a trip with a child suffering from food allergies, be sure to bring along plenty of safe foods. This is especially true if traveling abroad. It can sometimes be hard to know the contents of particular types of foods, and this can amplify the risk of allergic reactions to food allergens such as soy and nuts, as well as many others. Most people who suffer from allergies have been told to use humidifiers in their bedroom in order to moisten the airways during sleep. If you have a carpet or rug in your room, mold spores can grow there thanks to the humidifier. One alternative to a humidifier is a saline spray. These sprays help moisten the nasal passages. Consult with your doctor if all of your OTC and home remedy efforts have failed. A professional can determine which prescription-only medication is best-suited to your specific problems, which will set you on the path to success. Physicians may also be able to recommend other types of treatment. To help control your allergens, make sure that your car is kept clean and closed! Using the air-conditioner and having all windows closed will prevent pollen from coming inside the car. If you vacuum constantly, you can prevent buildup on seats and upholstery. This can lessen your allergy problems.
