  • in reply to: Pollen season is rough. Any tips? #240347

    Neti-pot, eye drops, Nasacort AQ or Nasonex (Flonase has highest rates of nose bleeds) nasal corticosteroids help.

    ’i usually take otc Allegra (fexofenadine) since it is non-drowsy every day in spring and fall.  Pseudophedrine helps with runny nose and congestion but dehydrates you and can give you constipation and incomplete bladder emptying, andcan dehydrate too so drink lots of water!

    Consuming local honey is a great idea.

    Getting tested by an allergist is the next step.  I found out I was allergic to wasp, hornets and yellow-jackets- but not honeybees.  So for 4 years I took tiny amounts of waps and vespid venom injections sub-q until I am finally immune.  You can do the same for pollens, mold, etc..

    Good luck!
