"Prepare for Longer and More Severe Allergy Seasons with Early Medication and Tips"

DC-area allergists are warning people to start taking allergy medication early this year as spring allergies arrived sooner than usual. Grass allergies are expected to be particularly strong in the months of May, June, and July. Nasal sprays are generally more helpful than pills, and stacking medications in different categories is generally okay. Allergy shots are also an option to consider for those who need them. It's important to check the pollen forecast and prepare pollen defense accordingly.
