Keep your child’s hay fever under control this season with a proactive plan! 🤧 Hay fever affects about 15% of children, and the secret to relief is consistency—give long-acting antihistamines (like Zyrtec) daily during the two+ months of pollen season to prevent breakthrough symptoms. Help your child breathe easier by using saline drops to wash pollen out of the nose, and soothe itchy eyes with a cold washcloth or over-the-counter antihistamine eye drops. To keep the "outside" out, keep windows closed, use the car's recirculate air setting, and have your child shower and shampoo before bed to wash off the day's allergens. If symptoms don't improve after two days of treatment, reach out to us! 🩺
