Fall Allergies

When the leaves begin to change colors we all rejoice; the hot summer months are over and fall is finally here.

For some people fall is not enjoyable. Fall means a runny nose and watery eyes.

Here are a few tips to help you enjoy fall without being sick:

• When you first experience a runny nose, watering eyes and sneezing, it’s best to go to the doctor. The doctor can determine if you’re suffering from allergies, a cold or the flu. Your doctor will also be able to suggest the best allergy medication for your symptoms.
•  When searching for allergy medication, make sure to read the labels. Some medications may cause drowsiness, which you would not want to take during the day. 
•  If you’re working in your yard wear a mask that covers your month and nose.
• The fall weather may feel great and you may be tempted to open your windows, but if fall means allergies keep your windows close.

Fall can be a great time to enjoy the outdoors! Follow these tips to prevent being sick throughout the fall season.
