Seasonal allergies on the North Shore can hit fast—itchy eyes, bursts of sneezing, a clear runny nose, and congestion (usually without a fever). If you’re feeling miserable, here are a few simple moves that can make a real difference—straight from our team at American Family Care® on the North Shore:
Start a daily, non-drowsy antihistamine early (don’t wait until you’re already suffering). Use a steroid nasal spray the right way—aim outward, not straight up the middle. When you’re outside, sunglasses + a hat help protect your eyes from pollen. Once you’re home, shower and change clothes ASAP to rinse allergens off. And yep—keep the windows closed to keep pollen out.
Need quick relief or want to rule out something more? No Appointment Needed—walk into AFC and get the care you need, when you need it.
