If your child has seasonal allergies (sneezing, runny nose, itchy eyes), here are simple, natural ways to help them feel better:

1. Keep the Air Clean

* Close windows on high-pollen days. Use an air conditioner or HEPA filter to trap allergens.

* Dust and vacuum often with a damp cloth to avoid spreading pollen.

2. After Outdoor Time

* Have your child shower, change clothes, and wash hands/face after playing outside to remove pollen.

3. Saltwater Rinse

* Use a saline spray or neti pot (with clean water) to flush out their nose. It clears mucus and allergens safely.

4. Honey (Only for Kids Over 1 Year)

* A teaspoon of local honey in warm water or tea *might* help build tolerance to pollen over time.

5. Soothing Herbal Teas

* Try chamomile (calms inflammation) or ginger tea (eases nausea). Add honey for kids over 1.

6. Allergy-Fighting Foods

* Quercetin-rich foods (apples, berries, onions) help stop the body’s allergic reaction.

* Vitamin C (oranges, bell peppers) boosts immunity and acts like a natural allergy medicine.

* Probiotics (yogurt, kefir) support gut health, which can reduce allergy symptoms.

7. Supplements

* Quercetin

* Probiotics

* Homeopathy- allium cepa, euphrates officials, histaminum hydrochloricum,

*Herbs- eye bright, nettle, elderberry

8. Allergy-Proof Your Home

* Wash bedding weekly in hot water. Use dust-proof covers on mattresses/pillows.

* Keep pets out of your child’s room if they’re allergic to dander.

9. Consider a low histamine diet
