Allergy Symptoms

 Dr. Luong suggests combining a nasal steroid spray (to reduce swelling) with an antihistamine (to combat allergies). If you’re stuffy all season, an allergist can help you find a long-term treatment plan.

 It's hard to get motivated when your face feels like it's about to explode, but a good workout can bring a bit of allergy relief. "It's basically like spraying Afrin in your nose," Luong says. "Because of the stress hormones you release when you're exercising, the blood vessels in your nose clamp down so you actually breathe better." It's a temporary effect, but at least you get a much-needed break from congestion—along with all the usual rewards of exercise.
