Spring Allergies can ruin our plans, our day, our holidays and any outdoor fun. Once spring begins to show signs that the warm weather is on the way; our allergies let us know as well! Allergies can cause so many side effects that they change our minds on our plans and ruins our outdoor fun and experiences. Some spring allergy signs are: itchy watery eyes, sneezing, rash, itchiness, hives and swelling of the lips or eyes. Since we know that spring time brings allergies and discomfort, we should all start being proactive when it comes to preparing ourselves for the onset of the spring season.

A few ways we can be proactive when it comes to taking care of ourselves against Allergies are: to start our allergy medications before we start to get symptoms, start spring cleaning early, stay indoors in the early morning when pollen counts are high, keep windows and doors closed and most of all make an appointment with us at Allergy & Asthma Care Rockland!

Spring allergies, often caused by pollen from trees, grasses, and weeds, can significantly impact quality of life during the allergy season. While it's impossible to completely eliminate exposure to allergens, there are several preventative measures and treatments that can help minimize symptoms. One of the most effective ways to reduce allergy symptoms is by limiting exposure to allergens. This can include staying indoors on high-pollen days, keeping windows closed, using air purifiers, and regularly washing hands and face after being outdoors. Wearing sunglasses and a hat can also help prevent pollen from coming into contact with the eyes and hair.

In addition to environmental changes, there are various treatments that can provide relief. Over-the-counter antihistamines can help manage sneezing, runny nose, and itchy eyes by blocking histamine, a chemical released during allergic reactions. Nasal sprays, including corticosteroid sprays, can reduce inflammation in the nasal passages. Allergy shots (immunotherapy) may be an option for individuals with severe allergies, as they help desensitize the immune system to specific allergens over time. For those with persistent symptoms, a healthcare provider may recommend specific treatments based on the individual's health history and severity of the allergies.
