Do the greener seasons make you cover your face? No need to hide. Many effective treatments and management practices for respiratory allergies are available.

The best treatment depends on what triggers your allergic reactions and on how your nose and sinuses react to those allergens. Your first line of self-care treatment is learning how to minimize or avoid exposure to your allergens.

However, because it is not always possible or practical to avoid the pollens or molds that cause your seasonal allergies, there are many over-the-counter and prescription medications available for seasonal allergy sufferers. Or, you may wish to use allergen immunotherapy for your condition.
