Allergist explains how to protect yourself from allergies during birch flowering 0 19

According to the specialist, achieving complete protection from flowering allergies is impossible. However, there are a number of precautions that can significantly reduce the likelihood of allergic reactions.

“After returning from outside, be sure to take a shower and change your clothes,” emphasized the doctor.

In addition, the doctor advises sleeping with the windows closed and using air conditioners with anti-allergen filters both in the car and indoors.

“When going outside, wear glasses. This will help protect your eyes from irritating pollen. Also, people who are allergic to birch pollen should exclude apples from their diet,” added the specialist.

Self-treatment of allergies is not recommended, as the most effective method for combating spring allergies is allergen-specific immunotherapy (ASIT). This method is aimed at preventing symptoms and can only be prescribed by a doctor after conducting a diagnosis.
