How to treat Hay Fever?
Almost ten pro cent of Americans suffer hay fever. The condition is caused by allergens - spores or pollens. Because different plants blossom in the different times of year, there are several waves of the hay fever. Molds may also cause the condition.
Signs of hay fever include runny nose (this is why another name for disease - seasonal allergic rhinitis), sneezing, stuffiness, redness and itching of nose, eyes, throat.
Treating allergic rhinitis is a tricky task. The mechanism of allergic rhinitis is immunological. There are no definite treatment available. However you may treat the symptoms of your hay fever. You may use topical applications such as decongestants and antihistamines. Another way is to make you less sensitive to pollens or other allergens is to give a series of special shots. The injections should be done by a doctor that treats allergies. Russian doctors had some additional medications. For example, one of my relatives was very happy about using a special mixture of thymic hormones. The mixture was produced by a Russian pharmaceutical company. That type of treatment targets namely the mechanism of the disease. However the treatment is not FDA approved.
Considering the lack of targeted treatments, the best way for you would be to prevent the hay fever in the first place.
To avoid exposure to pollens and dust:
*It is good practice to stay inside whenever you can during the pollen rich seasons.
*Avoid contact with cut grass and leaves.
*Do not dry your clothes outside. They may collect the pollens.
*Close doors and windows in the time of increased pollen production.
