With back to school season starting and summer coming to a close, I can feel fall in the air. I think that is because the pollen count has been a little higher (nothing like in the spring), but still enough that my eyes and nose are noticing.
With the second allergy season of the year kicking up, it is important to keep these Back to School Allergy Tips in mind.
2. Multi-vitamins are building blocks to having a strong immune system. Make taking a multi-vitamin part of your child’s daily routine.
3. Let there be light! Mold doesn't like sunlight, so try to keep your curtains open during the day. Should be easy during the summer months!
4. Did you know that most pillows trap allergens, dust mites, and bacteria? Monitor the cleanliness of the pillow your child with allergies sleeps on and replace if necessary.
5. Back to school season means lots of laundry for many moms. Be sure to remove laundry from the washing machine promptly. Allowing wet clothes to sit in the washer means mold can quickly grow there.
6. Monitor pollen counts and adjust outdoor before and after school activities accordingly. Dry, windy days can be particularly high in pollen.
7. Showering or bathing at the end of the day as opposed to the morning can be helpful in removing allergens from body surfaces and hair.
8. Stay hydrated! Always send your child to school with a bottle of water. Drinking lots of clear fluids through the day can help get rid of toxins and flush out body.
9. Peak pollen production typically occurs in early morning, so try to plan outside activities at other times of the day.

These are great tips. I love Claritin. Going back to school or starting school can be really tuff especially since kids are starting back to being in a closed environment for long periods of time. It is also getting colder too, so that makes kids get sick too.
ReplyDeleteI should try this with my daughter who has allergies to animal hair. I just hate giving her meds if I do not have to. I just typically avoid places with pet hair but it's nice to know there are options.
ReplyDeleteAllergies are going crazy for us here in the White Mountains of AZ - thank goodness for Claritin!!
ReplyDeleteGreat tips you have here. I'll bear this in mind :)
