Surviving spring with Trinity Health Of New England Urgent Care
Spring is in the air, so you know what that means – seasonal allergies! While many people look forward to spring and its lush green landscape, others are less enthusiastic. That’s because for all its beauty, spring is also the time of year when a large number of people suffer from extreme allergic reactions to the pollen that comes with all the blossoming flowers and sprouting leaves. When plants release pollen into the air, it can trigger an immune response in people, leading to a variety of allergy symptoms including itchy eyes, congestion, and more. Thankfully, Trinity Health Of New England Urgent Care is here to help you manage and reduce the effects of your allergies.
Combat those sneezes, sniffles, and other allergy symptoms by:
- Monitor Pollen Counts: Stay informed about daily pollen counts in your area. Many weather websites and apps provide this information, helping you plan outdoor activities on days with lower pollen levels so you can enjoy the springtime.
- Allergy-Proof Your Home: Keep windows closed during peak pollen seasons, use air purifiers, and regularly clean and vacuum your living spaces. And if you or those you live with are very active outdoors, washing their clothes more often may help prevent them from bringing pollen indoors and spreading it around.
- Personal Protective Measures: Consider wearing sunglasses to protect your eyes and a wide-brimmed hat to prevent pollen from settling in your hair when spending time outdoors. Wearing a jacket if the weather allows may also help protect you from any pollen floating around.
- Medication: Over-the-counter antihistamines, nasal sprays, and decongestants can relieve allergy symptoms. If you want to know which brand would be most effective for you, our healthcare providers at Trinity Health Of New England Urgent Care can help figure that out.
