Here's 1 thing you can do to minimize your allergy symptoms for as long as possible

Temperatures are starting to rise and pollen is in the air, which can mean only one thing: Spring allergy season is here. And thanks to a mild winter and more precipitation, this year's pollen season is shaping up to be rough. So, if you aren't already taking the allergy medications you typically rely on, now may be the time to start, experts say.

"The longer you have symptoms, if they're not treated well, it builds up so that your symptoms can get worse and worse," Dr. William Reisacher, an otolaryngic allergist at Weill Cornell Medicine, tells TODAY.com.

That means the key to keeping your symptoms at bay all spring (and summer and fall) is figuring out what types of pollen you're allergic to, learning when they tend to spread and starting your over-the-counter medications early in the season for your set of allergens.

You never want to be taking medicine willy-nilly, though. And you want to make sure you're using the right kind of medicine for your specific allergies and region. So, check in with your doctor and read our tips from an allergy expert to find out more about how to tell whether — and exactly when — you should be taking allergy medications.
