Allergies (probably pollen)

Do any of you guys get pollen allergies where your eyes are constantly itching and you're sneezing when you wake up? Did you do anything to fix it? What's the solution?

Speak to a Doctor. In Bangalore parthenium rules.

Is it possible to get rid of all parthenium in the city? Is parthenium useful to the ecological systems?

Not possible to get rid of it. You can desensitise yourself to the allergen with the right medical practitioner.

Cetrizine. Anti allergens. Speak to a doc

Not sure how great it is to take these long term. I feel drowsy and won't be able to work.

I have severe pollen allergy leading to sinus pain, blocked head and nose 24 hours. went to the best of best ENT docs in Bangalore and was told after multiple tests and scan they I’m part of 3% people that won’t be able to stay in city and I would have to either change the city or move towards outskirts towards airport if I wanted to get some relief as heavy steroids use is not recommended for long term

I get very severe pollen allergies around October to December every year. I usually go to the doctor and now use the same prescription for a five day course and usually get better. Don’t worry, you can ask for antihistamines that doesn’t make you drowsy.

Otherwise,

Wear a mask Dry clothes indoors if possible
Shower right after you get home Keep windows shut at home Carry Nasivion or Otrivin for congested nose

Try Jal Neti. Doing it first thing in the morning can reduce congestion and help with a lot of allergy.

I have being doing it in NCR and find a lot of comfort with my allergies.

It's ayuvedic technique for nasal rinse. Very easy to do and very effective.

You mix salt in lukewarm water and rinse your nose with that water. There is Jal Neti pot that you can get on AZ for less than 250 rupees.
