This is 60 seconds to better health.
This is Dr. Brynn Taylor from Kaiser Permanente with an important message about how to manage seasonal allergies. Spring and summer can be beautiful, but for many people they also bring sneezing, itchy eyes and congestion. The good news is that a few simple steps can make a big difference. One of the best things you can do is keep pollen outside. That means closing windows on high-pollen days, using air conditioning when you can, and changing clothes after spending time outdoors. For symptom relief, over-the-counter options like antihistamines, nasal sprays, and saline rinses can be very effective when used as directed. If your allergies are interfering with sleep, work, or daily activities, it may be time to talk with your doctor. We can help you find a personalized plan that keeps you feeling your best. Remember, with the right tools, you can stay ahead of seasonal allergies and enjoy the months ahead. For more information, visit kp.org.
