Avoid morning walks in parks or dusty areas, as pollen levels are high. Walk in the evening instead.
Wear an N95 mask and sunglasses while going outside to protect from dust and pollen.
Keep windows closed at home, especially in the morning and on windy days.
Change clothes and wash hands/face after coming from outside to remove allergens.
Eat vitamin C-rich foods like amla, oranges, lemon, guava, and capsicum to reduce allergic reactions.
Add turmeric to warm water or milk for its anti-inflammatory benefits.
Include omega-3-rich foods like flaxseeds, walnuts, and fish (if non-vegetarian) to reduce inflammation.
Drink herbal teas like ginger tea or green tea with a pinch of turmeric for soothing effects.
Take steam inhalation with a pinch of turmeric or eucalyptus oil to clear nasal passages.
Apply a cold compress on the eyes to reduce burning and itching.
Avoid honey or sugar-based remedies as they can affect blood sugar levels.
Choose low-GI fruits like guava, berries, and apple to boost immunity without spiking blood sugar.
Stay hydrated with warm water and herbal teas instead of sugary drinks.
Next Steps
Get an allergy test done to identify the exact cause (dust, pollen, or something else).
