As summer comes to an end, allergy sufferers must prep for the dreaded seasonal allergic rhinitis (hay fever). That’s right, September brings about the bloom of ragw**d, and this in turn creates an excess of ragw**d pollen. Ragw**d pollen is one of the primary causes of fall allergies and hay fever.

The best way to control your symptoms is to avoid contact with ragw**d pollen. Try to limit your time outdoors and check the pollen count for your area so that you are aware of what environment you are walking into. Allergy immunotherapy is another option for controlling symptoms. For more information on allergy immunotherapy click here. We can help. 843-797-8162

Some symptoms related to hay fever are:
Sneezing
Stuffy nose (congestion)
Itchy nose, mouth, eyes, or throat
Runny nose
Teary eyes

South Carolina schools are back in session, which means preparing your child for the school year. For parents with children who suffer from asthma, preparing can look a little different. According to the Asthma and Allergy Foundation of America, asthma is one of the top causes of missed school days among children ages 5 to 17. In 2013, it accounted for more than 13.8 million missed school days and $3 billion in losses due to missed work and school days. It is important to follow these key steps to make sure your child is healthy this school year. https://nationalallergyandent.com/back-to-school-with-asthma/
