Here are tips to alleviate seasonal allergies:4

 Stay indoors with the windows closed when the pollen count is high, and on windy days4

 Control dust in the home, especially in your child's bedroom.4

 When possible, remove wall-to-wall carpet, window blinds, and down-filled blankets or pillows4

 Wash bedding, curtains, and clothing often. Use hot water. This helps get rid of dust mites4

 Use air conditioning instead of opening the windows 4

 After playing outside on days when the pollen count is high, have your child take a shower. They should also wash their hair and change clothes.4
