Prevention:
1.You can't prevent
hay fever altogether, but you can learn to
cope with it.
2.Follow the treatment recommendations of your health care provider. The
medications are very effective but may take several days to reach full
effectiveness.
3.Moving to a new part of the country usually doesn't help. People who do
this often find themselves with new allergies within a few years.
4.Use air conditioning and limit outside exposure during hay fever season.
5.Allergy shots may help reduce the severity of your symptoms.
6.To keep from bringing your allergy indoors, do what you can to keep your
home free of mold and other allergens.
