I have a trick to prevent allergies in spring

Spring is the season when flowers bloom. Pollen from various flowers floats in the air, which can cause allergic diseases in some people with allergic constitutions after inhalation. So how can people with allergic rhinitis, asthma, etc. get through this season safely? The skin has poorer resistance in spring and is most prone to allergies, so in order to get through spring safely in daily life, you need to pay attention to 9 small details.

1. Take a bath before going to bed. Taking a bath before going to bed, especially a shower, can help remove allergens such as pollen and dust mites that are picked up from outdoor activities during the day, and at the same time reduce the chance of allergen contamination in the bedroom.

2. Keep windows closed during pollen season. Pollen is one of the most common allergens. During the pollen season, it is best to close doors and windows to prevent pollen from flying in. When driving, you should also close the windows and turn on the air conditioner.

3. Don’t spend too much time outdoors. For people with allergies, when the "pollen index" (air pollen concentration) in the air is high, they should not spend too much time outdoors. Generally speaking, the concentration of pollen and other dust in the air is highest between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m., so it is best to stay indoors during this time and try to minimize the time spent outdoors. When doing outdoor activities or exercising, try to do so in the early morning, evening, or after a shower.

4. Clean frequently in spring. Spring is the season for cleaning, and the interior of the house should be thoroughly cleaned because the dust accumulated in the home during the winter months can induce or aggravate allergies.

5. Wash your face when you get home from going out. After going out during smog weather or pollen season, you should wash your hands and face immediately to wash away dust, pollen and pathogenic microorganisms. In addition, you should change into new clothes in time after returning home.

6. Take medication seriously. If you must take anti-allergy medication, you should follow your doctor's advice to get the best effect. It is best to take allergy medications at night before going to bed. You should not drink alcohol while taking the medicine, otherwise it may cause side effects of the medicine. It is best not to take an anti-allergic drug continuously for more than one month. In addition, do not increase the dosage of the drug without authorization just because the drug takes a long time to take effect, so as to avoid unexpected dangers caused by overdose.

7. Wash bedding frequently. Bedding is also a major channel for the spread of allergens such as pollen and mites, so people with allergies should thoroughly wash their sheets, quilt covers and pillows in hot water at least once a week. In addition, people who are prone to allergies should dry their clothes in a dryer or hang them indoors after washing, and should not hang them outdoors.

8. Do not bring pets to bed . Some people with allergies are allergic to pet hair. In addition, pet hair is also easily contaminated with pollen and dust. When pets sleep in the bed, these substances will inevitably be spread, causing allergic reactions in pet owners.

9. Wear a mask when going out. Many people find wearing masks troublesome, so they don’t wear them often. But experts say people with allergies should wear masks when handling plants, such as mowing the lawn, picking plants, and cleaning the house.

Allergies are not scary, but when they occur, they are still very annoying, so everyone should pay attention.
