Keep your home pollen-free
It's almost impossible to avoid pollen completely, but you can take steps to minimize exposure in your home. Keep windows and doors closed, especially when pollen counts are high. Invest in good air filters and clean your home regularly to remove pollen. Special pollen screens for windows can also be very helpful.
Rely on preventive medication
If you suffer from a pollen allergy, taking allergy medication (known as antihistamines) in good time can help to alleviate your symptoms. Start taking them before the pollen season starts to give your body time to adjust. Consult a doctor to determine the best course of action and medication for your personal situation.
Take care of your health
The pollen season can also be stressful, so it's important to take good care of yourself. Make sure you get enough sleep, eat a balanced diet and exercise regularly. These factors can strengthen your immune system and help you cope better with allergic reactions.
