Generally, allergies develop over time, although you could have an immediate reaction. Often, your body resists the first few encounters with an allergen and then "gives in" to it. Many people reach their 50's or 60's and wonder why they've suddenly developed an allergy to something they've eaten all their lives.

Knowing that you have a pollen allergy doesn't make it much easier to control. Although drugs can help relieve annoying symptoms, specialists agree the best way to control a pollen allergy is to prevent an outbreak in the first place. Here are some tips on how to control your allergy the natural way.

1. Pollen levels are highest between 5am and 10am; so stay indoors during those hours.

2. Keep windows in your home and car closed.

3. Keep your home 10 degrees cooler than the outside temperature. A too-cold house can aggravate allergies. Keep your air conditioners and vents clean to prevent dust particles from circulating.

4. Keep your lawn mowed short to prevent grass from blooming. Blooming releases pollen to the air.

5. Wear sunglasses outdoors to protect your eyes from pollen.

6. Don't dry clothes on a clothesline outdoors.

7. If you think you've been exposed to pollen, shower as soon as you return home.

8. And finally, if you can, take a break from pollen season in your area of the country. A cruise is the ideal choice!Laugh

You can also try some medicines for control allergy for example Generic Allegra, Generic Atarax

Have you considered using a humidier in the house?  The moisture in the airshould keep the pollen from floating around and hopefully help your daughter.

I've given my daughter Zyrtec for years and she is fine.  Really there was nothing else that we did that helped her.  I made sure to give it to her at night, because it made her sleepy.

With the pollen count this high probbaly not really. Keep the windows closed and limit her time outside. My little one is just starting to show signs of allergies with a stuffy nose and red eyes.

Allergies are not easy to cure. What I would recommend is to maintain a healthy body of your child to combat any future allergens. Follow the doctor's recommendations for this time being and you make sure that your daughter will eat nutritious foods. Also, avoid the allergen that triggers the allergies to occur.

My youngest daughter is constantly stuffed up and I found out recently that it is allergies. The doctor wants me to give her Zyrtec every night before bed and I am not thrilled with that solution. Is there a natural way to help control her allergies?
