Don't underestimate the runny nose! Pollen allergy continues throughout the summer
Preventing contact with pollen is an important part of the treatment of allergic rhinitis. Prof. Dr. Gülfer Mehtap Yazıcıoğlu summarizes the precautions you need to take to protect your child from grass and weeds in 7 items:
1- Follow pollen warnings from weather applications.
2- Do not take your pet outside in the early morning hours when pollen count is high and in windy weather. If you have to, do not stay outside for a long time.
3- When you return home from outside, change your clothes and have your child take a shower.
4- Make it a habit to use glasses and masks when going out.
5- Keep the windows closed at home; if possible, choose an air conditioner with a pollen filter, an air purifier or a vacuum cleaner with a HEPA filter.
6- The pollen density is highest for 1-2 hours after the lawn is mowed. During this time, if possible, do not go outside and make sure to keep the windows of the house closed.
7- If your skin becomes itchy, red or scaly when in contact with grass, put on long-sleeved clothes before going to the park, schoolyard or a forest area. Be careful not to come into contact with grass.
