In case of spring allergies, the doctor prescribes antihistamines, antiallergic drugs, injections that reduce excessive activity of the body, sprays against swelling of the nose, drops to relieve inflammation of the mucous membrane of the eyes.

For example, during spring flowering, go out less, close doors and windows tightly, freshen the air in the room with an air purifier, do not dry washed clothes in the fresh air so that pollen does not stick to clothes. Daily wet cleaning of the premises, protective masks when the vacuum cleaner is running, or dusting off the bookshelves will also help reduce allergic reactions. It would be even better for the time of spring flowering to go to those regions where spring has not yet come or the trees have already faded. And if this is not possible, then it is necessary to create the most favorable conditions at home to prevent spring allergies.
