For some people, spring is a glorious season with blooming flowers and chirping birds, while other people find that it just brings sneezing, itchy eyes and a red, runny nose. If you fall in the latter group, then the below article has tips that can assist you in finding the relief that you’ve been searching for.
Whenever you use a new OTC antihistamine, test it out at home first. Often antihistamines will have ingredients that induce drowsiness. Even if no harsh warnings are listed on the product packaging, take the first few doses at a time when you can just lounge on the sofa and don’t have to get behind the wheel.
If you plan to engage in outdoor activities during high pollen season, try to do so in the early morning or late evening hours. Not only is the weather usually better for you to exercise more effectively, but the pollen is also at its lowest levels.
If nagging allergy symptoms are something you experience, keep an eye on your watch or the clock! Between 5 and 10 o’clock in the morning, there is a lot of pollen out that can make you have allergic reactions. If you have to go outside, try not to stay out for very long and limit your activity.
Make sure that the ventilation in your bathroom is adequate to limit the growth of mold and mildew. Such allergens proliferate in warm, wet areas. Make sure all washcloths and wet towels are hung up to dry, and always keep the fan on during and after you shower. If your bathroom does not contain a fan, open a window to let cold air in.
It is possible your carpet is an allergy culprit. Carpet is the terrible for allergies because it tends to gather up lots ofpollen, dust and dust mites. If your home contains carpet, think about changing them out for wood, tile or laminate flooring, if you can afford it. There will be a substantial difference in how much allergens you breathe in. If you cannot do this, then vacuum on a daily basis.
After reading these tips, you should know some ways to help fight your allergies. Read over this advice again whenever you can, and utilize it into your daily life. Now that you have a way to find relief, you can get out and start living!
