Need spring allergy relief? Avoid these top three mistakes

Posted: 3/29/2016

While the season of rebirth brings beauty, baby birds, and blossoming buds, it also brings distress to millions of allergy sufferers bracing for the sniffles, sneezes, and wheezes of the season. Be better prepared for allergies this year by avoiding these common mistakes:

1. Throwing money at the problem

There are hundreds of products on the market claiming to ease your allergy ailment, and some of them work well for different people. If you find yourself bouncing from product to product with no relief, consider making an appointment with an allergist who can help specify your needs. You can make an appointment with the Parkland Allergy Clinic by calling 214.590.5196.

2. Waiting until you feel the pain

If you do have allergies, it is recommended that you take medicine that has worked for you in the past before the season starts. Pay attention to the weather; pollens and molds are released into the air when winter and spring merge.

3. Allowing allergens into your house

Once you find the cause of your problem and the proper treatment, you should take steps to keep the allergens that agitate you out of your home. If you’re allergic to pollen, don’t keep your windows open, and take a shower when you come in from the outdoors.
