After spending time outdoors, change your clothes, and wash your hair before bed. Stay indoors on windy days, keep windows closed, and get air conditioning and heating filters changed regularly. Consider a HEPA air filter for your bedroom. This one may be a far-off dream for now but during the height of allergy season, try getting away to a place where your allergies won t bother you as much. Get the best possible medical treatment.
Some people resist seeing an allergist, possibly because they are afraid of having to get shots.
Many people are able to get relief through prescription medicines alone. However, anyone who has required injections will tell you that the improvement they bring is well worth a split second of discomfort. If you are working with an allergist in your home town he or she can send your antigen and instructions with you to the University Health Services allergy and immunization clinic, where you can receive your regular injections as needed. Life s too short to spend every spring feeling so badly. See an allergist, keep self-educating, and keep working at this until you find a combination that works for you.
