Keeping the AC On
One home remedy for allergies is air conditioning. Keep the windows closed and air conditioning on when the pollen is flowing freely outside, and keep the filter on the air conditioning clean. Look for units with HEPA filters to remove as much pollen and other allergens as possible.
Also, consider a dehumidifier to remove the humidity from the air, since humidity can aggravate allergies. For indoor allergies, run a separate air purifier.
