Here are some tips for dealing with allergies:
- Many people take Claritan D, but that stuff is very pricy! I found a cheaper alternative. Claritin-D contains Loratadine and Pseudoephedrine. I buy the Equate 24-hour Non-Drowsy Allergy Relief tablets from Walmart. I can get 30 of them for only $4.00, and you only take it once a day. These tablets contain the loratadine. Next, you go to the pharmacy and request a box of the generic version that has 120 mg. pseudoephedrine. Now you have "Claritan D;" but you have it in a much cheaper form.
- If you haven't tried the Netty Pot, here is a much cheaper version that I use myself, and it does wonders.
- I have also started using Visine A.C. for the constant redness in my eyes. During the weeks that my allergies were the worst, my eyes were constantly red. It isn't too pricy, and worth the money.
- If learned a tip from an opthamologist for dealing with crusty eyes due to allergies. Every day, wash your eyelashes with cheap baby shampoo in the morning and evening. It will do wonders for the "eye crispies."
- Wash your pillow cases frequently. Pollen gets in your hair, then ends up on your pillow at night.
- Another money-saving tip is to use toilet paper instead of kleenex to blow your nose. This is especially helpful for young children who won't need an entire kleenex. With t.p., you can pull off just what you need without wasting the rest.

I have found when I am really stuffy, those anti-snore strips really help me breathe at night. I take Flonase to combat my allergies, but being allergic to all grasses, I still have symptoms some days.
