9 Tips for Helping a Kid With Allergies Love Summer
Take Allergy Medicine

Children who suffer from allergies should take allergy medicine before heading outdoors to play. Most medications work best when they are taken before exposure to pollutants to prevent the body from releasing histamine and similar chemicals that produce symptoms. Antihistamines and nasal sprays work best when they are taken daily by children with known ragweed, pollen and grass allergies. Giving children their medication one to two hours before heading outside to play is also a good idea.
