If you feel like this spring is the worst allergy season in a long time, you aren't alone — or imagining it.
If you feel like this spring is the worst allergy season in a long time, you aren't alone — or imagining it. Doctors around the country are reporting seeing more severe seasonal allergies and for much longer this year compared to previous seasons.
“The warmer planet and higher carbon dioxide levels means that you have optimal environments for plant growth and plants produce pollen,” Dr. Neeta Ogden, an allergist and spokesperson for the American College of Allergy, Asthma and Immunology. Although this year's allergy season is tough, there are still ways to alleviate symptoms. We asked allergists to share their top tips for getting through the rest of allergy season.. “A big thing with treating allergies at any level is not to wait because they can spiral out of control,” says Ogden.
However, allergies cause more itching, Agarwal notes, and the same symptoms often last for weeks. Colds cause fevers and aches, she adds, and symptoms typically improve over the course of one week.Drugstore aisles can be overwhelming. “ you’re experimenting with medications that have mixed ingredients, or you just don’t know how it works, can make things worse,” says Ogden.
“A big mistake I see people making is not taking antihistamines or nasal steroid sprays or allergy eye drops daily during allergy season," says Parikh.TODAY.com previously reported You may also want to consider taking your antihistamine twice a day, depending on the severity of your symptoms, Azar said in a segment aired May 23. Just check with your doctor before doing so, as taking more of the medication may cause drug interactions.
“I strongly emphasize wearing sunglasses every time you go outside because all that pollen that’s flying around gets stuck on the lens and is a constant source of aggravation for the eye,” says Agarwal.
