Five Practical Ways to Combat Pollen Allergy (Allergy rhinitis)
Pollen allergy is often the cause of sneezing fit
and asthmatic symptoms.
Dr Abe V Rotor
Here are tips to prevent or
minimize pollen allergy.
· Keep
away from flowers and flowering plants
· Stay
home to prevent exposure to pollen
· Avoid
touching eyes and skin to prevent spread of allergy.
· Don’t
bring in flowers and plants inside the house.
· Use
mask and proper clothing.
There is a pollen calendar
developed by the late Dr. Lolita Bulalacao* of the National Museum, a
pioneer in palynology (the study of pollen grains) in
the Philippines. The calendar warns us people who are susceptible to
allergy to keep away from pollen coming from certain flowering plants in season
and from specific areas that may cause allergy. The symptoms of allergy
rhynitis are generally relieved by antihistamine, which comes in
different preparations and brands, as tablet or ointment.~
