Allergy symptoms got you down? You may have seasonal allergies, or you may be someone who suffers from perennial allergic rhinitis, which basically means that you deal with a runny nose, sneezing, stuffiness and a general feeling of allergy-induced frustration and helplessness much of the year, if not all year. Nasacort can address and clear up your allergy symptoms, and make you feel like your old self again.<\/p>\n

How Nasacort Works<\/strong><\/p>\n

Nasacort nasal spray contains Triamcinolone, a corticosteroid that fights inflammation. Nasacort blocks inflammation in the nasal passages and helps reduce nasal secretions. In other words, it helps get the swelling down so you don’t feel like you’ve got cotton up your nose, and helps make it possible for you to just keep those Kleenexes on standby instead of active alert.<\/p>\n

Allergies or Cold?<\/strong><\/p>\n

People sometimes don’t know whether or not to try an allergy medication because they can’t distinguish between allergy and cold symptoms. The table below highlights some of the differences between the two.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
 <\/td>\nSeasonal Allergies, Perennial Allergic Rhinitis<\/td>\nCold<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
Signs and Symptoms<\/td>\nRunny nose with thin, watery discharge; postnasal drip; sneezing; stuffiness<\/td>\nRunny nose with watery to thick yellow discharge, sneezing<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
Onset<\/td>\nImmediately after exposure to seasonal or indoor allergens, or year-round<\/td>\nOne to three days after exposure to cold virus<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
Duration<\/td>\nAs long as you’re exposed to allergens, which may be all the time around the house<\/td>\nFive to seven days<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n

So, in other words, if you’re sneezing and blowing your nose for a month, you likely have allergies.<\/p>\n

Allergens, Seasonal and Otherwise<\/strong><\/p>\n

You may be allergic to pollen<\/a>, which is produced nearly all year long with the advent of new grasses, leaves, weeds and flowers. And you can also be allergic to things in your house, such as dust mites, which pretty much live everywhere in the carpet and bed and aren’t going anywhere. You might also be allergic to pet dander, which can be controlled a lot more easily than pollen or dust mites.<\/p>\n

A Few Tips to Minimize Pet Dander<\/strong><\/p>\n

Some people with allergies tolerate animals perfectly well, but other people are highly allergic and react badly to them. Here are a few ideas of what to look for in a pet, or how to deal with the allergens produced by the one you already have.<\/p>\n
