                      Five Tips for Managing Spring Allergies

                      5/24/2021

                      Durant, OK May 2021 – While Spring brings sunshine, emerging greenery and longer days, many people dread this season for the sinus pressure, headaches, itchy eyes and respiratory problems it brings. More than 50 million people suffer with nasal allergies and half of those also have seasonal pollen allergies, according to The Asthma and Allergy Foundation of America (AAFA), which recently released a listing of the most challenging places in the country to live with allergies.

                      “If you're one of the millions of people who suffer from seasonal allergies, this time of year can be a challenge. While there are a number of over the counter medication options available and ways to reduce exposure, there are circumstances that warrant a visit to your Primary Care Physician. We can discuss your symptoms and treatment options during a visit. Don’t give up if your allergy symptoms persist, call and schedule an appointment at your earliest convenience,” said Dr. Amanda Hale.

                      If you or a family member suffers from hay fever or allergic rhinitis, here are some helpful tips to keep symptoms in check:

                      • Leave the pollen outside. Take your shoes off at the door as much as possible, to keep from spreading pollen through your house.
                      • Close your windows and dust your fans. Despite the nice weather, true sufferers should keep the windows shut to prevent allergens from entering. If you use a ceiling fan, give it a good spring cleaning. Replace air filters in your home and car.
                      • Keep your immune system strong. Eat fresh, clean, nutrient rich foods and stay active. The healthier your immune system, the more equipped your body is to battle histamines.
                      • Be aware of the pollen count. It changes daily – look up the count for the day, by zip code, at www.pollen.com.
                      • Sip warm beverages. Herbal teas can help ease congestion and keep you hydrated.

                      Wherever you live this year, allergies are likely to affect someone in your home. In addition to tips for avoiding allergy triggers, there are many effective treatments to minimize symptoms. Talk with your doctor about the best allergy prevention or treatment path for you.
