I won't go out to parks or walking on windy days. Allergy symptoms can be similar to those of colds, and often are mistaken for a prolonged illness. Itchy, watery eyes, wheezing, tightening of the chest and itchy mouth and throat can be signs of an allergy. It's important, said Saunders, to recognize the symptoms and take quick action. Without it, the allergy can grow more severe or lead to further complications.
Antihistamines can help.
According to Saunders, medications have become safer and less likely to make people drowsy. The older antihistamines were found to impair the driving of people. The newer antihistamines are safer to use and don't cause sedation. There is good medication available now. Jones no doubt will find herself perusing those shelves soon for relief from her scratchy throat, loss of voice and constantly runny nose.
