Staying ahead of your allergies this spring

How to manage your allergy symptoms this spring.

For anybody who suffers from seasonal allergies, they might not think that there is any new advice out there that will be useful for easing their symptoms. Spring is just another time of year to suffer through, transitioning from winter symptoms to the ones that plague you in the warmer weather. No matter what efforts you take to avoid the sneezing and itchy throat, they always greet you every single spring. Although not every trick will work for every person, it does not hurt to try new things in order to avoid the seasonal discomfort.

Here are a few new tricks to outsmart your spring allergies:

  • Avoid certain foods: Some fruits and vegetables – including apples and melons – have similar proteins to those found in pollen. Be careful what you cook and eat to avoid having an itchy throat during your meals.
  • Symptoms might not mean seasonal allergies: If you start developing your allergies in April or May, it is easy to assume that spring irritants are the culprit. But according to some experts, this might not always be the case. “It could be a mold allergy, which can run in summer and fall, or a year-round dust mite allergy,” says Dr. Linda Cox of the American Academy of Allergy, Asthma and Immunology.
  • Rely less on meds: Treating your allergy symptoms with medication is crucial, but overmedicating might become a problem. If you take the medicine too much too often, your body can eventually build up a resistance to its effects. Simply switch to another generic brand every two weeks or so to ensure your body’s health.
