How To Prevent Increased Allergies Causing Sneezing, Runny Nose And Itchy Ears In The Mornings?
Hi there,
Every morning I wake up sneezing, get a runny nose and itchy ears. Occasionally my eyes itch too. When I was younger or in winter months, I am susceptible to asthma attacks so I know I've had these allergy issues for a while, but I think they are getting worse. I do not know what I am allergic to, or how to stop it. I used to be fairly active, but my exercise this winter time has decreased as well. Might it be linked to increased allergies and how do I prevent it? Thank you

Dear patient, ideal way to prevent allergy is to identify the allergen and avoid it.please maintain a dairy of your daily activities from the time you get up till bed time. Try and find a link to the activity and beginning of your symptoms. Vaccum clean you mattress and room weekly. Regular exercise boosts immunity, so go for regular cardiac workout. Eating lots of fresh fruits and vegetables also helps. Avoiding junk, packed and processed food gives protection.you can also take ecchnacia herb supplements, or Siberian ginseng ( please avoid ginseng if you are hypertensive). Or you an take grape seed extract to boost immunity. Also please take 250000 units of vitamin a every 6 to 9 months. Regards.
