Starting your allergy medications before the season can make a huge difference in keeping your symptoms under control.
, allergy seasons may be getting more severe, too, Dr. Michelle Pham, allergist and immunologist at UCSF Health, tells TODAY.com.allergy management plan"It's hard to be motivated when you feel well," Pham says."But the whole idea of starting it beforehand is so that you don't get any symptoms and you continue to feel well throughout your season."
To get the most out of your allergy medications, you'll want to start taking them before the allergens that you're sensitive to begin to appear. First off, if you're waiting to see leaves on trees before you start those medications, you'll be too late, May says. Pollen on trees may look like fuzzy buds, and it can appear before the leaves come back in the spring, she adds.
Antihistamine medications, including pills, nose sprays and eye drops, can typically be used on more of an as-needed basis than the steroid sprays, Reisacher explains. But if you know you're going to be exposed to your allergen , he recommends patients take their antihistamine medication the day before, the day of and the day after the exposure.
Take a shower when you get home. Pollen can accumulate on your skin and especially your hair."You can collect almost a tree's worth of pollen right on your own head if you have a lot of hair," Reisacher says. So it's important to rinse off when you come back inside.
