Health Tip: Easing Your Child's Allergies

(HealthDay News) -- Allergies can cause big problems for children, but a few extra precautions from parents can help tame allergy symptoms.

The American Academy of Pediatrics suggests:

When pollen season is in high gear (particularly when weather is dry and windy), close the windows.

Make sure your home is dry and clean to minimize mold and dust mites.

Don't bring plants or pets into your home.

Avoid exposure to things that trigger your child's allergies.

Don't let anyone smoke near your child.

Talk to your child's pediatrician about allergy medication.
