What can I do about my allergies at night?

Is there anything I can do to help my wife and her allergies? she itches at night and coughs a lot?

  • She has had the worst season with allergies yet. She has taken allergy pills and antihistamines but to no avail. Can't sleep well you know ...what can I do to help?

  • Answer:

    If she is allergic to dust mites you can get allergen proof mattress and pillow encasement and wash all bedding including blankets in hot water that is at least 140 degrees. Running an air purifier all the time will really help with sleeping. My husband has terrible seasonal allergies and we have an air purifier running in the bedroom, his office, and the living room. There are some great cleaning products that can help too. For vacuuming-use a HEPA vacuum cleaner to make sure that you are not just redistributing the allergens. You can help her sleep better!

Quit making her sleep with the dog. Seriously, have you tried giving the bedroom a really good vacuuming, putting on a barrier sheet to stop anything from the mattress irritating her, swap pillows, or even just put two or three pillow cases on. Anything to try to reduce whatever it is that's affecting her.

try using a betti neti pot. its a very simple process with NO side effects besides breathing clearly haha. medications just cover up the problem, they dont fix it. its like brushing your teeth versus eating a breath mint. covers the bad breath but doesnt kill the problem dont use plastic ones though because the chemicals in the plastic eventually break down and cause more problems. go with ceramic made netis. i have a betti pot and it works wonders. feel better!

If she's tried Claritin and Zyrtec for allergies and they didn't work, then she probably has to talk to a doctor for some prescription medicines like Allegra and an allergy nose spray. She may also be having some mild asthma symptoms triggered by her allergies. That may cause her to cough. A doctor can give her some medicines for that.
