How You Can Com­bat Spring Al­ler­gies

The spring sea­son and al­ler­gies of­ten come hand-in-hand. While the tem­per­a­ture rises, so can the pollen and mold count, re­sult­ing in un­pleas­ant al­ler­gies with it.

Once you start suf­fer­ing from sea­sonal al­lergy symp­toms such as wa­tery eyes, stuffy nose and cough­ing, find out which al­lergy med­i­cine is best for you, and take them be­fore your al­lergy symp­toms start. Tak­ing med­i­cine be­fore the peak al­lergy sea­son can help re­duce symp­toms dra­mat­i­cally.

For Maryville stu­dent, Kamira Franklin, tak­ing al­lergy med­i­cine well be­fore the sea­son ap­proaches is pre­ven­ta­tive mea­sure she is sure to take.

“I take my med­i­cine year-round, so that way I don’t ex­pe­ri­ence the symp­toms so heav­ily,” said Franklin.

Some al­lergy stim­u­lants such as pollen, mold and rag­weed tend to be most preva­lent in the spring and sum­mer sea­son, so tak­ing med­i­cine year-round can make sure that the ef­fects al­ler­gies are less­ened all of the time.
