The clocks have officially sprung forward and allergy season will be here before we know it. For many, spring brings sneezing, itchy eyes, congestion, postnasal drip, and more. But did you know that early intervention can help reduce your body’s response and keep symptoms under better control?
Why Start Now?
One key to effectively managing allergies is preparation. By identifying your specific allergy triggers before peak season hits, you can take preventative steps to reduce your exposure and lessen your symptoms. Knowing what you are allergic to allows you to implement simple avoidance measures, like keeping windows closed during pollen season or using air filters indoors. When you know what to avoid, it’s much easier to prevent symptoms from flaring up.
