[quote=Anonymous]How old is she? That will help with recommendations.

- Warm mist humidifier in bedroom
- Keep windows in house shut on high-pollen days
- Have her bathe or shower immediately on arriving home from school/daycare/playing outside
- Zyrtec or another antihistamine WILL help if her pediatrician is ok with it
- Get an in-room air filter for her room (like this one [url]http://www.amazon.com/Honeywell-Long-Life-QuietCare-Purifier-17000/dp/B000050AQ5[/url]) and/or a MERV-11 filter for your HVAC (like this [url]http://www.amazon.com/20x25x5-19-88x24-88x4-38-Original-Honeywell-Replacement/dp/B003J7JSFY/ref=sr_1_5?ie=UTF8&qid=1366297767&sr=8-5&keywords=honeywell+filter[/url]). I have both.
- Dust that room like crazy. Vacuum a lot. Get a vacuum with a built-in HEPA filter if possible.
- Get allergy covers for the pillows and mattress to prevent dust mites (which will build up even on non-feather bedding) like this: [url]http://www.amazon.com/Allersoft-100-Percent-Allergy-Standard-Encasement/dp/B002R0DR3I/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1366297910&sr=8-1&keywords=allergy+cover[/url] You can wash these covers with the bedding and they provide excellent barriers to dust mites and other allergens.[/quote]
