ARLINGTON HEIGHTS, IL. (February 25, 2020) – It’s spring, which means you can count on certain annual rituals: flowers are beginning to bloom and temperatures will start to rise. The sun is shining a bit more, and you’re coping with sneezing, wheezing, itchy eyes and a terrible runny nose.
“Spring allergies can be tricky to treat because not everyone is allergic to the same things, even though symptoms may look a lot alike,” says allergist J. Allen Meadows, MD, president of the American College of Allergy, Asthma and Immunology. “There are some really effective treatments out there, but unfortunately no magic bullets. Knowing what you are allergic to is the first step in being prepared to ward off spring allergy symptoms.”
Below are five tips from ACAAI to help you stay laser focused on avoiding the allergens which make you miserable.
If you’ve cleared out allergens as best you can and are still suffering symptoms, it’s time to see a board-certified allergist. Allergists are specially trained to help you take control of your allergies and asthma, so you can live the life you want. Find an allergist in your area with the ACAAI allergist locator.
