While some people battle only seasonal allergies, others deal with asthma and allergies year round. Here’s one tip for fighting allergies where they start: bathe as soon as possible after being outside or in contact with known allergens — especially before bed. Take other measures to get symptoms under control and find relief with the following helpful products. (And remember to have plenty of tissues on hand!) If you think you may have allergies or asthma, be sure to see your doctor to get an accurate diagnosis and a treatment plan.

Nasal Sprays

To get relief from painful, stuffed up and dried out nasal passages, try a variety of nasal sprays. Options range from sprays with decongestants to simple saline sprays. Look for nasal sprays specially formulated for allergy relief.

Eye Drops

Itchy, watery eyes? Dry eyes? Look for eye drops to ease annoying allergy symptoms and get you back to seeing clearly. If allergies regularly bother your eyes, it’s a good idea to ask your doctor about ways to control your allergic reactions. But for short-term relief, keep a bottle of eye drops in your purse, desk or car so they’re easily accessible. And stock the medicine cabinet with multi-packs so you always have plenty of eye drops on hand.
