What can help me with my seasonal allergies?

What I can I do to help my allergies?

  • I have tried Claritin for weeks and it did not work. I was taking six benadrill a day and it did not even make me sleepy and did not completely help either. I am now taking 120 mg of Allergra in the AM and it does not work! What is wrong with me? Am I " super allergic'? How much benidrill is too much for one day? What I can I do to help my allergies? Help! Have an appointment with a specialist in two weeks but... I want to know what I can do in the mean time!

  • Answer:

    I feel bad for you. I don't have allergies but my 2 boys do, and it is so difficult to figure out things. I can't believe the Benadryl didn't make you sleepy! That usually knocks people right out. If you have a feather pillow - get rid of it. If you have a cat - it could be the cause. Moulds are very bad too. Clean anything that looks or smells mouldy asap, such as a shower curtain. Do you have a lot of houseplants that could be mouldy in the soil? Do you keep wood inside your home, drying it out for the fireplace (very bad for allergies). Do you change your furnace filter every few months? These are just a few ideas. Good luck to you.

My son had the same problem. We then tried Dimetapp Cold/Allergy and it worked better than the expensive others. Might want to give it a shot. Different medicines will work differently on different people. Don't give up until you've found what works for you.

I take Cingulair. When you go out side put on a mask to cover your mouth and nose. That will keep the pollen away till you see your doctor. (I do this and it helps me alot while working in the yard.) It sounds like that is overdoseage for you! I mean SIX A DAY! Do what your doctor recomends.

well my dear, you shouldnt be taking too much medicine no matter what kind it is..I have the same problem, but my doc suggested singulair and it worked for me, but if all fails in your case there is only one way in knowing what it is youre allergic to, so that you can avoid being next to it and that way you can prevent haveing allergic reactions, the test is a blood test in which they can test for all kinds of allergies and can tell you what youre allergic to and hwat youre not..but you must see the specialist or ask your doc to perform such test..so any way i hope this gave you soem ideas..and good luck

try avoiding the msg (monosodium glutamate) ingredient in foods, and don't drink tap water or anything made with tap water. Get your water from those purified water machines. Let me know in 4 weeks if u get results: auroraresearchinstitute@yahoo.com

Try Claritin. It works wonders for me. If you are congested go for the Claritin-D. You can get it over the counter and hopefully it will help in the mean time.

Have you tried deep-cleaning your house? It may be that you're slightly allergic to something in your home, but combined with seasonal allergies it's just too much for your body to combat. Try doing laundry with natural detergent and softener, dust really well, vaccuum really well, and see if that helps cut down on your allergies. There are natural antihistamines at organic stores, ask around and see if there's anything in particular they suggest to help.

Wow! Maybe you are imune to the meds. I wish I knew something that would help. I did find a couple of articles that you can read on allergies. Sure won't hurt.
