Finding what helps with allergies can seem like an endless task every spring in Louisville and Southern Indiana.

Rebecca Leite, APRN, nurse practitioner with Norton Prompt Care at Walgreens clinics, offers three easy steps that can help with your allergies.

• Start taking allergy medicine before symptoms start and take them daily throughout the season. If you take them only when you feel bad, they won’t help as much.
• Take off your shoes outside and change your clothes as soon as you come in.
• If you don’t normally shower at night, start doing so to keep your pillowcase and sheets free from pollen and allergens.

When you can’t effectively manage your allergies, they can make life miserable. If over-the-counter medications and lifestyle changes aren’t helping, it’s time to seek professional help.
