Allergy Expert Gives Tips On Seasonal Allergies

FRIDAY, April 18, 2025 (HealthDay News) -- Spring has sprung, and the battle with seasonal allergies is underway in earnest.

But there’s a lot folks can do to manage their pollen-produced misery, according to Dr. Zachary Rubin, a Chicago-area pediatrician and allergy expert.

“There's a lot of different issues at play when it comes to seasonal allergies, especially as tree pollen counts are starting to climb,” Rubin said in an interview with HealthDay TV.

“It's not just about medications. It's about lifestyle changes to reduce exposure to what you are allergic to,” he said.

For example, people with allergies might need to limit their outdoor time during specific times of the day, Rubin said.
