One month before the allergy: a preventive homeopathic treatment
In case of strong allergies, the doctor will put a preventive treatment in place in the fall. But most of the time, you have to think about it a month before symptoms appear. Difficult, you might say, since we do not necessarily know which pollens or which grass the child is sensitive to. The tests are indeed not very meaningful before the age of 6 years. Only one solution: treat at the time of the crisis and identify when in the pollination calendar it occurs. So, the following year, you will be able to take the lead.
Monitor the pollination schedule
It is important to be able to know at what time of the year such and such pollen is particularly present in the air. So you can put a preventive treatment in place. And above all, you know that it is better to avoid going for a walk near fields of wild grass on such a weekend …
- From late January to mid-March: pollens from cypress and thuja, especially in the South.
- In March and April: birch, hornbeam and hazelnut pollens, especially in the North and East. – In April: plane tree pollens.
- From January to June: pollens of ash and olive trees. – In May and June: pollens of oaks.
- From May to July: pollens of plantain grasses and nettles.
- From the end of August to the end of November: ragweed pollens, especially in the Lyon region.
