Allergy season has arrived. Spring weather in March and April bring on allergies with the tree pollen as the top allergen along with weeds and grasses. These allergens will continue throughout the summer until fall. If your child suffers from these allergies, there are simple things you can do to help reduce reactions this allergy season.
· Check pollen forecasts on local news.
· Change your air filters often and use HEPA filters to filter out allergens.
· Use over-the counter medications to relieve symptom, antihistamines to relieve allergy symptoms such as a runny nose and watery eyes or talk with your health care provider on other options.
· On high pollen days when outside, a change of clothing is good when coming in from outside.
· Keep doors and windows shut to keep out the pollen.
IF YOUR CHILD HAS A NEW ALLERGY, PLEASE CONVEY THAT INFORMATION TO ME AS SOON AS POSSIBLE. THANK YOU!
Sixth grade vaccine and health information coming soon in May. This information is for what is required for 6th grade.
