Birds chirping, trees and flowers blooming, longer days—everyone gets antsy at the splendorous signs of spring. But for the child with seasonal allergies, spring also means a runny nose, itchy eyes, and a scratchy throat, which can make it difficult to breath, concentrate, or even sleep. Even worse, over time, these symptoms may lead to chronic ear infections and asthma. And while over-the-counter antihistamines can bring some immediate symptom relief, side effects such as drowsiness may disrupt ordinary activity as much as the allergies themselves. Support your child’s comfort with a holistic approach that addresses lifestyle, environment, diet, and supplements to minimize allergen exposure, balance the body’s natural systems, and reduce symptoms.
