October and November have some of the highest pollen counts of the whole year! If you find yourself sneezing, coughing, and wiping your watery eyes, check out these ways to help treat your seasonal allergies:
Start with one medication - either a nasal spray (like Flonase) or an antihistamines (like Zyrtec). Often we throw everything we have at allergy symptoms, but start slow and add one daily allergy solution to your routine.
Then, add another form of medication. Either add the other type discussed above that you haven’t added yet, or add a decongestant (like Sudafed). If one type of allergy medicine isn’t knocking out your symptoms, then couple it with another medication to see if the two together can fix the multiple symptoms that often happen with seasonal allergies.
If basic over the counter medications don’t work, give us a call. If combining two basic over the counter medicines don’t knock out the symptoms of your seasonal allergies, come visit our office so we can discuss prescription medication. The goal with seasonal allergies is to find relief with the least amount of medications.
Seasonal allergies are no fun, so don’t let them ruin the upcoming holiday season. Give us a call to schedule an appointment, or come in to our office for a walk in consultation to find the best solution for your seasonal allergies.
