Allergy Control: Medications used regularly usually help (claritin, allegra, (fexofenadine) zurtec, etc). It's always helpful to limit your exposure to allergens... Close your windows, encase your bedding, use a certified hepa vacuum cleaner, eliminate fabric softeners and scents, banish pets from the bedroom, etc. See your doctor, allergist or ENT specialist if your symptoms don't improve.

Seasonal Allergies: Avoidance, salt water washes, seeing an allergist for testing and then deciding on a good plan of action considering the addition of allergy shots, nasal sprays and oral medications to control or eliminate symptoms.

Allergies: If staying indoors during high pollen days and medications don't do the trick, then the best long term answer is desensitization by allergen immunotherapy, it decreases your dependence on medications and provides you with long term relief. Consult an allergist and get tested and see if you are a candidate.
