How To Combat Your Allergies with Dr. Cheryl Williams

Allergies are very common. Dust mites, pollen, mold and pet dander are common environmental allergens.  Since we are in the beginning of the fall season, ragweed allergy is a common complaint.  Many sufferers complain of sneezing, headache, watery eyes and nose and sometimes coughing.

Those of you who are outsiders, preventive measures can help to decrease your symptoms.  Gardeners should wear masks, gloves, hats or scarves and shower immediately after you are inside.  Those of you who want to know your specific allergies, get skin tested.  Stay hydrated and remain inside with excessive temperatures.  Also stay informed about the air quality.  Enjoy your summer and stay safe!!
