Today Air Supply Heating & Air Conditioning has some tips for you on how you can help the people in your family that are struggling with allergies.
Allergy Diagnosis
The first thing that you want to do is make sure that it is really allergies. Many people assume that they are having problems with their allergies but they are actually having another health problem. You may be struggling with a cold or some other virus instead. Some common symptoms of allergies are itchy eyes, nose, and mouth; and thin, clear mucus. If you have a cold you may a fever or body aches. If the symptoms do not clear up after a few weeks you may want to take a trip to the doctor to confirm an accurate diagnosis.
Allergy Treatment at Home
Next you will want to take medicine that will help you with your symptoms. When you go to the store to purchase your medicine there are tons of options to choose from. Look at the labels to make sure that you are buying a product that treats the symptoms that you are having. Many times people take medicine that is not made to relieve the symptoms that they are having and then wonder why it is not working. In addition to traditional medicine you may also want to consider using some alternative options. Neti pots, nasal sprays, essential oils, and herbal remedies are all excellent ways to help minimize allergy symptoms as well. Numerous studies have shown that these less traditional options yield favorable results.
Stay Indoors to Relieve Allergies
When you are struggling with allergies you will want to stay indoors as much as possible. The dust and pollen outside are causing your allergies to flare up. Taking yourself away from the dust and pollen will help reduce your symptoms. You will also want to do your best to keep your windows and doors closed as much as possible. Keeping your home clean will also help reduce your allergy symptoms. Dust and pollen find their way into your home as your doors open and close. They are also tracked into your home on your clothes and shoes. Regularly vacuuming and dusting your home will both prove helpful in your fight against allergies.
