I never used to have to worry about allergies, but about 5 years ago when I moved south I was suddenly hit with headaches, itchy eyes and a runny nose. Allerges at their worst. I know also have two chidlren who suffer from seasonal allergies.Thanks to Children's Claritin Big J, Little J and I are able to overcome our allergies and get back to living life to its fullest. (I have found that Children's Claritin is actually the only thing that provides me with relief from my allergies.)

Allergy Tips
1. Be sure to have
Children’s Claritin, the #1 pediatrician-recommended non-drowsy allergy brand,
on hand!
2. Multi-vitamins are
building blocks to having a strong immune system. Make taking a multi-vitamin
part of your
child’s daily
routine.
3. Let there be
light! Mold doesn't like sunlight, so try to keep your curtains open during the
day. Should be easy
during the summer
months!
4. Did you know that
most pillows trap allergens, dust mites, and bacteria? Monitor the cleanliness
of the pillow
your child with
allergies sleeps on and replace if necessary.
5. Back to school
season means lots of laundry for many moms. Be sure to remove laundry from the
washing
machine promptly.
Allowing wet clothes to sit in the washer means mold can quickly grow
there.
6. Monitor pollen
counts and adjust outdoor before and after school activities accordingly. Dry,
windy days
can be particularly
high in pollen.
7. Showering or
bathing at the end of the day as opposed to the morning can be helpful in
removing allergens
from body surfaces
and hair.
8. Stay hydrated!
Always send your child to school with a bottle of water. Drinking lots of clear
fluids through the
day can help get rid
of toxins and flush out body.
9. Peak pollen
production typically occurs in early morning, so try to plan outside activities
at other times of the
day.
