Spring brings a lot of joy. But when pollen levels are high, dealing with allergies can be tricky and affect your quality of life. Rest assured, with your ivari Critical Illness policy, you can access a healthcare provider online for health support and allergy prescriptions.
A mix of preventive tips and medication can help manage your allergies. Follow these expert tips so you can enjoy all the fun that spring has to offer:
Check your local pollen forecast
It’s best to avoid the outdoors when pollen counts are highest.
Stop symptoms in their tracks
Allergy medication works best when taken preventively. Try taking them well before stepping out.
Limit exposure to outdoor air
Consider keeping your doors and windows closed when pollen levels are high.
Improve indoor air quality
Regularly change the filter if you use an air conditioner.
Control allergy triggers
Remove allergy-triggering plants like ragweed from your home if possible.
