As fall settles in, so do allergies.🍂

If your child has seasonal allergies and your pediatrician has recommended allergy medications in the past, start the medications now to lessen the severity of the allergy symptoms. Examples include antihistamines like Claritin, Zyrtec and Allegra, and nasal sprays like Flonase and Rhinocort.

Call your pediatrician with any questions!

Autumn allergies and illnesses can turn a season of beauty and outdoor fun into a miserable season of sickness. People need to take care when enjoying it.
