Dreading Spring Allergies: Keep These Tips in Mind

Now that the blooming season is coming upon us, many of us will likely encounter that dreaded springtime visitor—seasonal allergies. Pollen, grass, weeds, and other pesky growths often don’t agree with many of us. Respiratory congestion, hay fever, sore throats and itchy, watery eyes might all signal allergies. 

While not exactly incapacitating, spring allergies are certainly inconveniences for any sufferer. They make us feel less than our best. So, how can you take better care of yourself when they strike? With the right attention, you can go about your day while minimizing their discomfort.

First, Talk to Your Doctor 
Most physicians recognize that springtime allergies create a lot of headaches--literally. Many are happy to examine and discuss various treatment options with patients. Often, your health insurance will pay for an annual checkup, as well as other wellness care as needed. If you need to go to the doctor due to severe or debilitating allergies, you likely can at an affordable cost. 

Your doctor might recommend certain medications to help treat your allergies. These might be over-the-counter drugs like Zyrtec® or Benadryl®. Other remedies include nasal sprays, eye drops or saline washes. In severe cases, doctors might prescribe certain specialty medications, like inhalers. Your health insurance might provide coverage for the prescription medication. However, it won’t cover the over-the-counter supplements. 

Ask your doctor what treatment options best suit your needs. They can likely point you in the right direction. 

Wellness is a Big Factor in Beating Allergies  
Keep in mind, there’s no concrete cure for allergies. However, you often have a variety of ways to reduce the severity of them. If you work to keep yourself healthy, you can often reduce the effects of these pests. 

  • Take all supplements and prescription medications as required. 

  • Drink plenty of water and clear fluids. Hydration can help keep you hydrated, clear your sinuses and flush toxins out of your system. 

  • Use care when venturing outside. Check the air quality forecast daily. It can tell you if there are high levels of allergens or other contaminants in your area. For some, particularly children, the elderly and the sick, poor air quality can prove dangerous. On particularly hazardous days, it’s often a good idea for most people to socialize indoors. 

  • Keep your home thoroughly clean. Allergens can easily enter your home. A dirty house means more accumulation of these hazards. Frequently dust, vacuum and clean your personal spaces.

 

As always, commit to healthy living in general. Eat well, exercise and reduce your stress levels. These practices can help reduce the threats of spring allergies. If you ever need assistance seeking medical care, contact your health insurer.
