Seasonal allergies

Sneezes and wheezes getting to you?


Seasonal allergies, also known as hay fever or allergic rhinitis, are allergic reactions to outdoor allergens such as pollen from trees, grasses, and weeds that occur during specific times of the year. Symptoms include sneezing, congestion, runny nose, itchy eyes, and throat irritation, which can significantly impact daily life and well-being. Effective management of seasonal allergies often involves avoiding known triggers, using over-the-counter or prescription medications such as antihistamines and nasal sprays, and in some cases, undergoing immunotherapy. 


Mahalo provides a convenient avenue to consult with healthcare providers about your seasonal allergies. Through virtual visits, you can discuss symptoms, receive accurate diagnosis, and obtain a personalized treatment plan to minimize the impact of allergies on your life, enabling you to enjoy the seasons more comfortably from your home.

Precautions


  • Keep windows closed during high pollen seasons to prevent allergens from entering your home.
  • Use high-efficiency particulate air (HEPA) filters in your home's ventilation system and vacuum cleaner to trap allergens.
  • Rinse your nasal passages with saline solution using a neti pot or nasal irrigation bottle to flush out allergens and relieve congestion.
 

Common Medications


  • Antihistamines such as loratadine (Claritin), cetirizine (Zyrtec), or fexofenadine (Allegra)
  • Intranasal corticosteroids such as fluticasone (Flonase), mometasone (Nasonex), or triamcinolone (Nasacort)
  • Decongestants such as pseudoephedrine (Sudafed) or phenylephrine (Sudafed PE)
