As our thoughts are turning to spring, many of us are beginning to deal with seasonal allergies. Many people suffer from seasonal allergies. Symptoms can be a rash or skin irritation, nasal congestion, sinus congestion and pain, and watery eyes. Allergies can aggravate and often trigger onsets of asthma. Allergies can be particularly troublesome for those of us with breathing difficulties, as they are one of the primary triggers of asthma.
Colds typically cause swollen glands, low-grade fever, sinus and nasal congestion, and watery eyes.
Avoidance -Staying away from the things that cause your allergies is the best way to avoid having an attack. See the Tips section for some hints on ways to do this. Ask your pharmacist for advice on what antihistamine is best for you. Make sure to read the directions carefully as many of these medications can cause drowsiness. There are also homeopathic medications,such as Pollinil by Dolisos, available that can help to prevent your body from reacting as severely to allergens.
