Put An End To Your Allergy Symptoms With This Helpful Information. You could have allergies if you have itchy eyes, sneezing or coughing constantly. Allergic symptoms, which are often mistaken for cold symptoms, can be treated and controlled. The article below discusses some of the ways to treat your symptoms. If you have never tried a certain over-the-counter antihistamine yet, do so when you are home. Many antihistamines have ingredients that cause drowsiness or slowed reflexes. It’s always a good idea to try the medication out in a safe environment once or twice. Although the label may not include any dramatic warnings, you don’t want to find out that you react poorly to the medicine while you’re driving. On sunny days, you might want to open windows to let your house naturally cool. However, this should be avoided because it might cause your allergies to flare up. The best way to do this is to put a HEPA filter on your air conditioner and it will get rid of your indoor allergens. This might not feel quite as fresh but it will help you breathe easier. Wherever possible, use something other than carpeting and rugs as floor coverings in your home. It is practically impossible to keep carpets totally clean, as mites, dust, pollen and dander cling to the fibers and irritate those with allergies. Make use of flooring that can be mopped or swept clean instead. Shower and shampoo before going to bed. Pollen accumulates on your body and in your hair during the day, and could cause an allergic reaction as you try to sleep. Simply wash quickly, and you will find you feel much better. If you suffer from allergies and want a pet, consider one with short hair. Long haired animals seem to trigger allergies more so than short haired animals. Prevent your pet from worsening your allergies by providing its own bed rather than letting it sleep with you. Are you aware of the fact that your body might be causing you to experience allergic reactions? It’s true! During your day as you are out and about, allergens like molds and dust can attach to your hair and clothing. By the time you get home countless allergens have settled onto your person, where they may attack your immune system. To avoid this, make sure that you shower and clean constantly. If you don’t, you’ll suffer from more reactions. Pollen counts are higher and lower at different times of the day. Try to make the times you go outside happen in the wee morning hours, or late at night. You will be more comfortable at those times of day, since pollen levels are lower. Avoid anything which contains colorant because your allergies could flare up. Even something as basic as toilet paper could be a problem if you use a brand that has dyes in it. Try using white paper products for your house to see if this helps your allergies.
