Sneezing, coughing, and itchy, watery eyes are just some of the common symptoms of seasonal allergies. In fact, whenever the seasons begin to change, some people can tell by the way their body reacts.  Fortunately, when these signs show up, there are some step you can take to relieve your symptoms. Here are five ways to deal with these seasonal allergies and get back to feeling better in no time. 

 Track the Weather for the Best Times to Stay indoors

Pollen flying around in the air is one of the biggest culprits for seasonal allergies. When pollen  counts are high, consider staying indoors. You can find information on pollen counts from local weather reports. Often times, they will include the actual times during the day when people should stay indoors instead of participating in outside activities.

 Shut the Windows and Turn on the Air conditioner

Most people like to open up their windows to let fresh air in. Opening windows during peak pollen counts for allergy suffers can be devastating. Avoid being irritated by pollen entering your home. Keep  windows shut tight and turn the air condition on to regulate the temperature. Also consider air filters to help reduce pollen and other allergens.

Look for All Natural Methods of Getting Relief Whenever Possible

There are quite a few over the counter and prescription medications on the market today that can provide relief. Some may include harsh side effects. With your doctor’s approval, consider natural remedies. For instance, some seasonal allergy suffers recommend butterbur. Research has shown that butter bur is just as effective as oral antihistamine for itchy, watery eyes.

Use Saline Nasal Sprays 

Another effective way of getting relief from seasonal allergies is to use saline nasal sprays. Saline nasal sprays are designed to clear out the nasal passage so you can breathe better.

Shower Before Going to Bed 

When pollen is in the air, it can attach itself to virtually anything including the hair. So, to get a good night sleep without any unnecessary surprises, people should shower before going to bed. Specifically, for those people who are required to perform their job outside.
