While spring may be the favourite season for a lot of people, it can be dreaded by people dealing with allergies.
Danny Lee, a pharmacist at London Drugs, said many people wait for the symptoms to appear before they start to treat them.
“The medication still needs a little bit of time to work, so (people) don’t get the relief right away and they will suffer from the symptoms,” Lee said Wednesday on the Greg Morgan Morning Show.
He said certain medications, such as Claritin and Reactine, sometimes need to be in the body before a person gets exposed to the allergen.
“Taking it one or two weeks prior to allergy season, depending on what your allergy season is, would definitely be important,” Lee said.
He noted symptoms of allergies can be very similar to ones a person would get if they were suffering from a cold.
“With a cold, after about a week or so, you start feeling better and the symptoms start going away. With allergies, the symptoms tend to continue and persist,” Lee said.
He said parents should watch and monitor any symptoms from which their kids are suffering.
