Question:

Does anyone else get bad allergies or asthma around this time of year?

Do you get the sneezing, dry cough, and itchy eyes? Also, why do bad allergies always make your body feel like you have the flu? This really sucks. I have no fever at all and want to go out, but I keep sneezing and have a scratchy throat.


Answers:

My heart goes out to you as a fellow allergy sufferer. Hayfever is like having a summer cold for months. I used to lay around all day with a box of kleenex and ice to put on my eyes.

In your bedroom, keep the windows closed. Get an air conditioner if you need to. Use a HEPA air cleaner in that room. Vacuum and laundry the bedding regularly. Do not go to bed wearing pajamas that may have been exposed to pollens. This will give your body a break when you are sleeping.

During the day, take an antihistamine such as Benadryl or Reactine. This should help. Avoid the times of day when the pollen counts are high. Usually an online weather site will tell you what the expected pollen counts are.

See an allergist to find out exactly what you are allergic to so you know what to avoid.
