Prepare for allergy season

Spring is in the air, trees are budding and flowers are blooming. The birds are chirping and your crying, which means pollen is in the air. So now your desperate for allergy relief.

Now that you know why your miserable take a minute to write down your symptoms Ex: runny nose, watery eyes, itchy throat etc...

There are several ways to treat your symptoms:

*Natural herb/remedies

*Prescribed medication

*OTC(Over the counter medication)recommended by local pharmacist

Once you have decided which option is for you simply follow through.

Natural Remedies

If your choice is natural remedies look for natural articles online. I have noticed that prevention.com has a lot of good articles on natural herbs etc.. Also visit your local health store for suggestions.

Prescribed medication

Consider making an appointment with your family doctor or clinic for an allergy office visit. If you like shots instead of pills there may be other options available.

OTC Medication (Over The Counter)

To find the best OTC medications visit you local drug store and ask for a pharmacist consultation. Tell the pharmacist your symptoms and they will direct you to an effective OTC medication. If for some reason the medicine doesn't work, simply return to store and request another pharmacist consultation. Don't be ashamed to ask questions the pharmacist doesn't mind giving professional advice.

Suggestions:

Wash hands regularly when coming from outside

Don't open windows or sliding doors on high pollen count days

If you like honey, pick up a jar from a local farm or farmers market, the pollen that bees produce will help to build your immune system. Although, it must be honey from a local farm to work.

Always take medication properly

Be sure to tell doctor of all medications at time of allergy visit, this can prevent unwanted side effects.

If you are unable to take medications due to doctor restrictions, get doctors approval before you purchase any medications.
