Find out about the pollen season

The pollen season can be a challenge for allergy sufferers. But with the right information and preparation, you can get through this time well. Find out in advance when the pollen season starts in your region and which pollens are particularly common. Apps and websites offer daily pollen forecasts that can help you plan your activities accordingly.

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.

Focus on your health

With the right strategies and a little preparation, the pollen season doesn't have to be a stressful time. Find out more, take preventative measures and get medical advice to help you cope with this time of year.
