There’s nothing better than getting outside to enjoy the longer, warmer days of spring or the crispness of fall’s fresh air. But at the first sight of blooming flowers or changing foliage, instead of getting out, allergy sufferers shut themselves inside.
Treating Seasonal Allergies at Omaha Urgent Care Walk-in Clinic
Spring and fall are the worst times of year for anyone who experiences seasonal allergies. While there’s no cure, there is relief – and a walk-in clinic can help. Instead of staying cooped up inside with the changing seasons, here’s a look at some tips that will help ease your seasonal allergies.
Seek Medical Help in Advance
If you know that you are prone to environmental allergies, visit your primary care doctor or an allergy clinic before the spring and/or fall arrive. That way, you’ll have the medications you need so you can combat your symptoms before they go into full effect. By going in ahead of time, you can lessen the discomfort that comes along with allergies.
Understand Your Allergy Symptoms
Whether you’ve suffered from allergies for ages or you are just starting to develop them, make sure you know what your symptoms are before you arrive at the clinic for diagnosis. Why? – Because if you fully explain your symptoms to the doctor, the doctor will be able to make a more accurate diagnosis and treatment plan. For example, the side effects and treatments for a grass allergy may be different than the symptoms and remedies for a ragweed allergy. Though your doctor will perform a thorough evaluation, and an allergy test may be conducted, having a thorough understanding of your symptoms will simplify treatment.
Know the Allergy Treatments
There are a variety of treatment options available for seasonal allergies. These can include:
- Allergy shots
- Antihistamines (prescription or over-the-counter)
- Steroid nasal sprays
- Steroid inhalers
A medical professional will recommend the best treatment options for your specific needs. Furthermore, he or she will fully explain the administration of any medications, as well as any side effects that may be associated with them; however, it’s a good idea to know what type of treatment options are available before your appointment so you are aware of the treatments that may be recommended.
Allergies can really put a damper on your day (or your entire season); but with the help of a walk-in clinic, you can keep them under control and ease your suffering.
