What is a good way to reduce symptoms of pollen allergies?

by Symptom Advice on December 30, 2010

Another reason to fear the warm summer day. If you have suggestions other than constantly taking acetominophen pills, that would be prime.

You need to increase the strength of yout mast cells, this can be done with bioflavonoids. it is a safe, natural way to stop all allergies.

Benedryl is an excellent over the counter drug for allergies. also known as dyphenhydromine hydrochloride.

Acetaminophen is a fever and inflammation reducer and not very effective at treating allergies. Some over the counter remedies are very effective: my favorite is diphenhydramine (benadryl) but it causes major drowsiness; or Sudafed or Claritin. Sudafed and Claritin do not cause drowsiness so they are great for someone with occasional problems. for long term relief – see an allergist and start shots when the pollen season is over.

Find a bee keeper in your area, buy comb honey made there, if eaten regularly during allergy season it helps reduce symptoms. it has to be from your area.

Well acetominophine is not gonna help you with allergies.
You need to be using a anti-histamine. this counters the histamine reaction that pollen causes.
Another treatment , on a long term basis, is using topical cortisteroids. These are used over a longer period of time and applied in the form of a nasal spray. then anti-histamines can be used when the cortesteroids are overwhelmed.
Also for temporary relief when it really gets bad use a combined anti-histamine and a decongestent.
Hope this helps
