Seasonal Allergies Treatment Clinic in Westheimer Houston, TX

If you are suffering from seasonal allergies then Insight Urgent Care can help! This annual ailment plagues thousands in the area with congestion and constant fatigue. It may seem like there’s no way to avoid it, but the experienced staff at our walk-in urgent care center can help! The experienced doctors at Insight Urgent Care can help you get through the allergy season this spring.

Unfortunately, there is no cure to seasonal allergies or any allergies in general. No medication can be prescribed that “cures” you, unlike treatments for the flu or strep throat. Allergies occur when your immune system is triggered by an allergen that usually doesn’t affect other people. Despite the lack of a cure, there are some simple steps you can take at home to limit your exposure to whatever is causing your spring seasonal allergies. This will cause your annoying symptoms to be less severe.

Don’t make your bed!
 
Dust Mites are tiny bugs that often cause allergies during the spring. These pests love to hide in your sheets, and when you make your bed, you lock them in tight. Leaving your bed unmade and airing out your sheets allow these bugs to wander off and bother your allergies less. 
 
Consume less alcohol.
 
Did you know the number of drinks you have in a week could be causing you to have more allergies? Studies have found a link between the number of alcoholic beverages you have in a week and seasonal allergies. While the reason behind this link isn’t completely apparent, try cutting back and see if this improves your allergies. 
 
Avoid certain fruit and vegetables.
 
A protein that is common in allergy-causing weeds has also been found in some fruits and vegetables. This protein seems to make your spring seasonal allergies worse. Some studies link melons, bananas, and tomatoes to these allergy-causing proteins. 
 
 Wash you contact lenses often.
 
If you aren’t careful, you can easily trap common allergens between your contact lenses and your eye, irritating it. Wash your lenses regularly and consider buying an air purifier for the area you leave your lenses to sit overnight. 
 
Wash dishes by hand.
 
Exposing your child’s immune system to allergens early in life help them develop a tolerance for them as they grow. Studies have shown dishes that our sterilized often lead children to have a higher chance of developing allergies later in life. Giving their immune systems practice at an early age to tolerate allergens can help immensely!

It’s not just you! Science has shown that at night your cortisol levels are lower. As a result, your symptoms end up being much worse.

Not sure why your spring seasonal allergy is so much worse this year compared to past years? Visit our clinic today for an evaluation. You might have something worse, like a sinus infection, flu, or strep throat. These illnesses can be hard to tell apart from allergies, as they share many of the same symptoms. We can test for these conditions and can start you on medication if we get any positive results. If you are truly suffering from terrible allergies, we can prescribe you something to help take the edge off of the symptoms so you can start to feel better.
