Almost a fifth of the Swiss population suffers from pollen allergies. Hay fever, also known technically as pollinosis, is the most common allergic disease in our latitudes. Symptoms? Runny nose, sneezing attacks, itchy eyes and tiredness. Complaints affect the social and working life as well as straining the mucous membranes. The following tips are helpful in everyday life:
wash your hair in the evening
Those suffering from hay fever can reduce symptoms by washing their hair before bed. Wash your face several times a day to remove pollen.
Do not keep clothes in the bedroom
Worn clothes should not be removed or stored in the bedroom as they also contain pollen. The load is usually greatest at noon when the windows must remain closed. In general, only ventilate the bedroom for a short time.
wearing sunglasses
Anyone with itchy eyes during the hay fever season should always wear sunglasses when going for a walk outdoors. It keeps flying pollen out of your eyes.
No stress, no alcohol
Alcohol should be avoided as it dilates blood vessels and facilitates the passage of allergens through the mucous membranes into the bloodstream. Stress and heavy physical exertion should be avoided as our bodies fight allergy triggers when they are already at their peak.
anti-inflammatory drugs
In most cases, people with severe pollen allergies also have to resort to medication. Many anti-inflammatory cortisone preparations or medicines containing cromoglycic acid are available in pharmacies. Nasal saline rinses can also support treatment.
three years of therapy
If you want to live a long-term symptom-free life, you can resort to hyposensitization. The body gradually gets used to it as it is exposed to allergy-causing substances, and allergic reactions no longer occur in the first place. Increasing amounts of allergen are given to the patient in the form of injections, drops or tablets so that the immune system can get used to it. Therapy takes three years, but not everyone is successful. (gru/gji)
