Advice and Treatment
All-day sufferers
All-day symptoms deserve serious retaliation.
Sick and tired of spending beautiful summer days locked away indoors? Fortunately, there are things you can do to give yourself more freedom to enjoy the great outdoors. By reducing your exposure to allergens in your home environment, you could prevent your allergen threshold overloading.
Moving On
If you're house-hunting, avoid damp locations, for example near rivers or underground waterways. If you have a pet allergy you may need to factor in replacing the flooring into the cost. In fact, your ideal home might be a 'new build' in the Alps, where dust mites hate the low humidity and temperatures!
Give your nose a break!
- Drink lots of water to make sure mucus is thin and fluid during sneezing attacks.
- Blow your nose gently, one nostril at a time. After all, it's a delicate piece of engineering!
- Avoid swimming or flying during an allergy attack to prevent sore sinuses.
- Take your own bedding on holiday and ask hotels if they have allergy-free rooms (they do exist!)
If symptoms persist...
It's impossible to avoid allergens completely but fortunately there are lots of treatments available to help you be prepared. Don't let your allergy control you. If your allergen can't be avoided antihistamines can be great rescue remedies. For quick relief call upon BENADRYL® Allergy Relief. It's the fastest-acting hay fever capsule available, getting to work in 15 minutes and lasting for up to 8 hours.
