It’s that time again, folks! THE POLLEN IS EVERYWHERE — picture this: the sun is shining, the beach is calling, and suddenly, your throat, eyes, and nose are itching without relief. Are there enough tissues in the world? Probably not.
That’s where we come in! Try these over-the-counter remedies to feel your best during this season:
🌱Antihistamines- such as Zyrtec, Allegra, or Claritin to decrease the itchy, runny symptoms
🌱Steroid Nasal Sprays- such as Flonase, Rhinocort, and Nasonex to decrease inflammation, helping you to breathe better
🌱Saline Sinus Rinses- to cleanse your sinuses of allergens and congestion. You wash your hands, right? Why wouldn’t you wash your sinuses?!
🌱Decongestant Nasal Sprays- such as Afrin to help with nasal congestion— but no more than 3 days of use or you’ll cause rebound congestion!!
👃🏼And if the OTC options don’t cut it, contact your doctor for antibiotics or steroids in a sinus rinse. We can compound these options to be applied directly to and throughout your sinuses to better fight any infection and inflammation while avoiding absorption within your body! .
