It’s hitting hard for me at the moment and it’s making me miserable. What do you do to combat the torture of allergies?

Small rant

Pollen allergies are why I really dislike Spring and Summer. I’d rather deal with a Winter cold than Spring/Summer allergies.

    First, reduce your exposure to pollen, windows and doors closed during the summer and get an air purifier to clean the pollen out.

    Second, eyedrops and nasal spray, and normal eye drops work, they’re just to wash the pollen out of your eyes. A steroid nasal spray really does work incredibly well to reduce immediate symptoms, Beclometasone is the active ingredient in the one I use.

    Third, medication. I rarely need extra medication but my partner suffers much worse than me and uses it more. Fexofenadine based is the most effective pills we’ve found.
