With allergy season picking up earlier than in the past, starting your medications quickly can make a huge difference in keeping your symptoms under control.
, allergy seasons may be getting more severe, too, Dr. Michelle Pham, allergist and immunologist at UCSF Health, tells TODAY.com.
"It's hard to be motivated when you feel well," Pham says."But the whole idea of starting it beforehand is so that you don't get any symptoms, and you continue to feel well throughout your season." "Itchy eyes, runny nose, congestion and facial pressure are consistent with allergies, but you also see that when you have a cold," Elliott says.
First off, if you're waiting to see leaves on trees before you start those medications, you'll be too late, May says. Pollen on trees may look like fuzzy buds, and it can appear before the leaves come back in the spring, she adds. "Steroids can decrease inflammation overall," Pham explains, while antihistamines block histamines, the compound your body releases in response to allergens, from affect the cells that cause allergy symptoms.
