Pollen counts tend to be high on warm, windy days and drop on cooler, rainy days. During pollen season, you should stay indoors in high-pollen days

You can sometimes prevent symptoms by avoiding the pollen you are allergic to.

Homeopathy follows an individualized treatment, where medications are prescribed after studying personal characteristics.

The following medicines are commonly indicated:

1. Arsenic Album: It is the best homeopathic medicine for allergic rhinitis, especially for people with intense thirst. Also include symptoms that indicate thin acrid nasal discharge, burning in the nose and throat and a cold that gets worse at midnight.

2. Allium Cepa: Acrid discharge from the nose but plain discharge from the eyes is a common indication. Burning and itching of the nose get better in the open air.

3. Natrum Mur: This helps in the cases where sneezing is the predominant symptom, or about of rhinitis starts with sneezing. Other symptoms include dryness of the mouth, thin, and watery discharge from the nose, and a craving for salt.

4. Sabadilla: It is mostly used in cases with frequent sneezing but scanty nasal discharge. Also, indications are hay fever-like symptoms, frontal pain, and watery discharge from the eyes.

5. Dulcamara: constant sneezing and profuse nasal discharge and tearing from the eyes, especially worse in summer. Nose totally stopped up in cold damp, headache from stoppage of nasal discharge.
