To prevent sneezing fits during allergy season, you can take several measures:
- Limit outdoor activities during high pollen counts.
- Keep windows closed and use air conditioning with a HEPA filter to reduce indoor allergens. Wash bedding frequently in hot water to remove dust mites.
- Use allergen-proof covers on pillows and mattresses.
- Avoid exposure to known allergens, such as pet dander or mold.
- Use over-the-counter antihistamines or nasal corticosteroids as directed by a healthcare professional.
- Consider allergy shots (immunotherapy) for long-term management of severe allergies under the guidance of an allergist.
