The mold count is very high right now. Try eye drops.

If you think you have air born allergies like pollen, mold, pet dander smog etc then you should try a teaspoon of LOCAL honey each day to help your body develop immunities to these irritants. The prescription drugs that you are using will cause dehydration in your body-your kidneys and liver (as well as other areas ) will not like this. You can do irreparable damage to your organs. Look at the warnings-do they cause dryness? Of course. Don't use nasal sprays either-they do the same thing. Sinus infections will also occur with these drugs as they DRY out the area causing lesions where infections can result. Local honey has no side effects and does not cause long term damage to your body. Like all herbal remedies, it will take a while to be effective. Be patient, you will also experience less cold and flu symptoms if you take local honey.

Go for a blood test and see what you are allergic too. Then take the shots. You can only take them for 5 years, but I've heard they work.

Are you sure it's allergies? If antihistamines aren't working, maybe you have a sinus infection or have conjunctivitis. Go see your Dr.
