In anticipation of spring, consider the following to reduce the impact allergies have on your well-being and still be able to enjoy your time in Buckingham Lake Park.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li>Over-the-counter remedies: Many turn to antihistamines to combat sneezing, itching and runny noses. Nasal corticosteroids can alleviate inflamed nasal passages.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Nasal irrigation: Rinsing the nasal passages with saline solution can help clear out pollen and mucus, easing congestion.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Barrier methods: Sunglasses and hats pollen from getting into your eyes and nose. Wearing a mask during high pollen periods and changing clothes and showering after being outdoors can further minimize exposure.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Exposure reduction: <a href=\"https:\/\/albanyentandallergy.com\/allergist\/local-pollen-count\/\">Stay informed about daily pollen counts<\/a> and remain indoors when they peak, especially on windy days. Keeping windows closed and cleaning pets after they&#8217;ve been outside can keep indoor pollen levels low.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Personal hygiene: Showering and changing clothes after outdoor activities can significantly reduce pollen brought into your home.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Allergy immunotherapy: For enduring relief, this treatment gradually accustoms the body to allergens through allergy shots or sublingual drops, enhancing tolerance over time.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Should symptoms persist or impede daily life, consulting a doctor is advisable.
