Fall allergies are here in the Northeast of the US and possibly where you live.

A few things to consider:

Before pollen levels get too high call you Doc and consider starting a daily allergy med like Zyrtec. Starting it ahead of time can make sure the medication is working in your system when pollen levels surge.

Consider showering at night. It will remove the pollen from your skin and hair and keep it out of your hair. This will help to keep your sheets cleaner so you aren't sleeping in pollen all night long.

Change your air filters...in your home, in your car and in any portable air filters you might own. Starting with clean filters means more particulates will be filtered from the air keeping you breathing easier.

I also love a neti pot for cleansing nasal passages or a simple saline spray. Stay away from nose sprays that dry out your sinuses...they can actually make you feel worse.
