13 Ways to Keep Spring Allergies From Taking Over Your Life

Dr. Galowitz recommended using high-efficiency particulate air (HEPA) filters, which work by forcing air through a mesh screen that traps harmful particles, like allergens and dust. Try using a HEPA filter to prevent pollen from triggering your symptoms. These filtration systems can be costly, so consider having at least one in your bedroom to help clean the air while you sleep.

You can also find vacuum cleaners that have a HEPA filter, and she suggested cleaning the floors often with these devices. Dr. Galowitz added that the use of a dehumidifier can limit the growth of mildew, mold, and dust mites that can negatively impact allergies.
