5 Tips for Surviving Allergies During Baseball Season

FLONASE® compensated me in connection with statements made in this post.
Last year was my son’s first year playing baseball. He adores the sport and is already back to practicing for the upcoming season. This year, he’ll be playing even more games, bringing our family to the baseball field a lot. We all have such a good time and really enjoy spending the spring and summer watching him play, eating sunflower seeds and soaking in the sun. Unfortunately for him, my daughter, and me, the allergies we experience can make some of the games pretty miserable. The sneezing and itchy eyes can be unbearable in the thick of allergy season. I’ve come to find a few pretty great tips for surviving it though, and wanted to share them with you.

4 Tips for Surviving Allergies During Baseball Season

1. Children’s FLONASE® Allergy Relief. It’s the only over the counter nasal spray indicated to relieve both stuffy nose and itchy watery eyes. Consistent usage is key. It’s recommended for kids ages 4+.  

2. Take a shower when you get home. This has been huge for us. Sometimes it has been a long day or it’s getting late and my son just wants to lay down and rest. But I learned how important it was to have him take a shower and wash off all the dirt, dust, pollen and whatever else was lingering in his hair and on his skin. In the peak of allergy season, this helps them to feel much better.

3. Use a cold compress for itchy eyes. Luckily for us, itchy eyes are a symptom my kids don’t get often. But when it does, it can strike quickly. My daughter’s eyes get more itchy if she starts to rub them. If the eyes are bothering your kids, one of the fastest ways to get relief is to grab a cold wet washcloth and hold it on each eye until it settles down (source).

4. Keep their hands clean. This can be hard, since they are busy playing and running and having a great time. So instead of taking them frequent trips to the bathroom to wash, just keep some wet wipes in your bag and clean them off often. Not just their hands, but their face and neck as well.

    We keep the windows closed, take our shoes off at the door, have and indoor air purifier, take a shower after being outdoors, and take Flonase when the symptoms get to great. It is the only over the counter medication that works.

    In my family allergies are very common. We tried home remedies, but at the end Flonase is the answer.

    We survive allergy season by taking medicine and changing our clothes when we come in from playing outside.

    My oldest son has seasonal allergies that flare up during baseball season and every so often I will catch him itching his eyes and constantly blinking. We’ve never tries Flonase but will most assuredly give it a test!

    no carpet, no drapes, no shoes inside, no dirty laundry hanging around, window closed, shower often, and use flonese as needed.

    It’s 1:51 am and I’m wide awake, because my 6 year old son has been sniffling and coughing nonstop for the past hour. He had a baseball game today and the field was especially dusty due to no rain for several days. He loves to play but I hate how it aggravates his allergies. He’s never tried Flonase but we will give it a try.

    Taking a shower is tops for us. Also if it’s really a bad pollen day, we tend to stay indoors a bit more when possible. Thanks so much.

    We do not have many allergies in this house, very mild if anything. I keep an anti-histamine on hand for anyone who needs it.

    I’m really the only one with bad seasonal allergies. I try to keep the windows closed on bad days and use an allergy air purifier and meds if needed.

    I often suffer from allergies and it makes going to my kid’s baseball games a nightmare. Thanks for the advice about using a cold compress for itchy eyes to calm the itch down. I’ll have to see about finding a nasal spray for myself so that I can be allergy free.

    Several of us have allergies.
    Keeping the windows closed is a mega help.
    We also essential oils just for this purpose.
    thank you

    We make sure to wash our hands and face after going outside. Helps with dirty hands rubbing more pollen into the eyes and noses.

    I have more problems with allergies than anyone else in the family. I don’t use medications if I can avoid it because they make me too drowsy so I usually just stock up on tissues and sneeze away.

    My family survives allergy issues both by avoidance (food allergies) and homeopathic remedies for seasonal allergic like vapor balms, eye drops, and poison ivy soaps.

    My family has used Flonase (they didn’t have the children’s version that I know of)
    for many years back before it was available without a prescription. It works great and has provided us much needed allergy relief over the years.

    Try to keep the allergens at bay as much as possible. When they strike, tho’, I opt for some allergy medication to help ease the symptoms ?

    We try to vacuum a lot and dust! We just adopted a cat and I am hoping my allergies are not from her 🙁 I am going to try flonase for my watery eyes! Thanks for the tips.
