Limit your time outdoors. When you do go outside, make sure to shower and wash your hair to remove any residual pollen. According to WebMD, allergy symptoms tend to be particularly high on breezy days when the wind picks up pollen and carries it through the air. The best time to go outside is after a good rain, which helps clear pollen from the air.

Take allergy medicine. There are several types of allergy medicines available. You could try antihistamines, nose spray or allergy shots if recommended by your doctor.

Protect yourself early on. It is helpful to start allergy medication early in the season to prevent symptoms from getting severe before the medicine begins to work.

Explore natural options. Do research on alternative herbal remedies.

Allergy-proof your home. Make sure to keep your windows closed when pollen levels are high and leave your shoes by the door when you enter your home. It also helps to use air conditioning in your house and car.
