What do I do about my horrible seasonal allergies?

Question:

I have seasonal allergies to tree and grass pollen and ragweed, and they've been really bad this year. I almost always have a sinus headache, and my nose is constantly stuffy and my throat is sometimes sore. I take an over-the-counter medicine, but it doesn't seem to help much. What else can I do?

Answers:
go see a doctor. You shouldn't be this miserable. I use Zyrtec and Flonase (which is now generic) for my allergies. When the ragweed comes out in about a month I'll also have to add my prescription eye drops, or I'll give myself conjunctivitis. There's many medications out there for allergies, there's no reason to suffer if the otc stuff isn't working for you.

Other Answers:
If they are that bad, see your doctor. I use Sudafedm, non-drowsy or Visine allergy eyes formula and drink green tea. Find out what you are allergic to and what avoid it whenever possible.

I would say go to the doctor and see what they say. I know that they have more powerful perscription drugs that they can give you so I would go to your doctor. well it sounds like its time to visit the doctor for a prescription allergy med..you may need to see an allergist to see just what it is your allergic to and then start allergy shots to help out..welcome to our world..

There are some experts who believe that allergic reactions can be increased if a person is overproducing insulin (hyperinsulinemia), because an overproduction of insulin can lead to overproduction of other body chemicals - like histamines.
