Next Steps

Follow-up

• Follow the treatment recommendations of your health care provider. Give the medications a chance. Most of them work well but some take several days to reach full effectiveness.
  
  
• See your health care provider if you experience any complication of hay fever.
  
  
• Any adverse effects of the medications prescribed should also prompt a visit to your health care provider.
  
  
• Consult your health care provider periodically to see if new, better medications with fewer side effects are available.
  
  
• Periodic re-evaluation of your allergy sensitivity is also recommended to prevent further illness.
  
  
• If you would like to have allergy shots for desensitization, discuss it with your primary health care provider or an allergist.
