[quote=Anonymous]Here's a tip I've given all of my friends with spring pollen allergies. Start taking your medication (ie Allegra) on Valentine's Day (February 14th) every year. That gives the medication time to build up in your system and there's no way to predict exactly when the pollen will hit (sometimes it's early) and how bad it will be each year. If you don't do this, even if there's snow on the ground and it seems counterintuitive, you actually wind up needing MORE medication later to reign the symptoms in. I learned this from an allergist. Tree pollen is out now, and it's bad. It's easy to see when it's the worst and when it starts to tamp down just by looking at the accumulation on your car. In addition to Allegra, you can use some over-the-counter medications (Pataday drops for the eyes and Nasonex spray for the nose). Grass pollen allergies typically kick up in July, right now it's tree pollen.[/quote]
