Treatments for Seasonal Allergies

Avoidance

While you cannot avoid the seasons that cause your allergies, you can take steps to avoid having allergic reactions [2]. During seasons when you are most prone to allergies, you can check forecasts to known when pollen counts are highest. If you can, stay indoors during these times or use a dust mask if you have to go out.

You may also choose to use high-efficiency particulate air (HEPA) filters and avoid using ceiling fans indoors. You should keep your windows shut as often as you can. You should not engage in activities that can worsen your allergies, such as smoking.
