Do you have experience with pollen allergies. What can I do to ease my symptoms?

What air purifiers work best? What over the counter drugs work best? Should I get an inhaler for my cough? Is there an over the counter one? Does vacuuming my room regularly really matter? Any other tips?

For OTC drugs I suggest Alavert. (It's a different brand of Claritin, but works best for me) For prescription drugs try Hismanal. Air purifiers dont work well, but humidifiers DO. Just get one at Wal-Mart. No, you should not get an inhaler. Buy surgical masks to wear when you go outside. I do it. It might look funny, but I'm a heck of a lot more comfortable! Also, drink lots of fluids. Vacuuming regularly will not help with pollen allergies, but will help with other types of allergies.
Reply:I only have problems with pollen in the Springtime and Fall. I take Allegra and its by prescription only.
Reply:Benedryl.
Reply:I take Tylenol Sinus and within minutes get relief- They have day or night tablets. Keep windows down and stay inside as much as possible. Vacuuming a lot if you don't have a vacuum that does not spread the pollen into the air like a heppa filter or one that goes into the water is best.
Reply:MyHusband suffered for years with pollen allergies .Tried everything like you I finally convinced Him to go to the Doctor and she gave Him a RX for flonaise It Worked for Him and He had a real hard time with that type of alergy.If flonaise dosen't work for you tell your Doc to try you on ClaironexPlus Benidril, or Nasonex and Benidril. Go to your Doc, You don't have to suffer from this.
Reply:Antihistamines, and I use a rescue inhaler. Albuterol prescibed by a physician. Best to let him decide what antihistamines to use.
