Doctor gives coping tips during Arkansas’ elongated allergy season

Little Rock, Ark. (KATV/KAIT) – With allergy season arriving early this year, one doctor is advising people on how to cope with different types of pollen.

According to our content partner KATV, Dr. Eddie Shields with Arkansas Allergy and Asthma Clinic says three types of pollen cause allergies. Tree pollen, grass, and weeds are the main three types of pollen.

“The less exposure you have to the pollen, the better off you are. So, leave the windows shut in the house and in the car. If you’re going to be outside working in the yard in the pollen, wearing a mask and eye protection is helpful. As soon as you’re finished, shower and get the pollen off of you,” says Dr. Shields.

Dr. Shields says that over-the-counter medications like nasal sprays work best during allergy season.

As a last result, you can treat allergies by getting an allergy shot.

“That’s what we see all the time. It works 80 to 90% of the time,” Dr. Shields added. “They tell me I should have done this ten years ago because it really is that effective and it really does change the course of the disease.”
