“Bless you!” my kids holler over to me… TWENTY times per day.
It’s no secret: I have seasonal allergies. In fact, from March to October, I have a love-hate relationship with trees, grass and ragweed. (Okay, it’s mostly “hate” with ragweed.) And while sneeze-a-thons can definitely be a nuisance, it goes further than that for me; I frequently experience an itchy, runny nose, sneezing, and nasal congestion.
I’m not alone. Experts estimate that about 20 to 30 per cent of Canadians suffer from seasonal allergies – the immune system’s exaggerated response to an allergen. For me, “allergy season” starts in early spring and goes until the first frost of autumn. Translation: I spend about 3/4 of the year in hay fever hell.
(My husband, who is affected by indoor allergies that can be caused by pet dander, dust mites, etc. – actually suffers all year round. Yikes!)
Here is how I manage my allergy symptoms:
1. I track my symptoms. I keep a daily diary to track my activities and the time of day when my symptoms occur; it helps me identify patterns and improve my understanding of what affects me most, and when. For example, I find that my symptoms are most intense during mid-day if I’m in a park.
2. Get relief. There’s no need to suffer! I spoke with my pharmacist and she recommended Nasacort Allergy 24HR. Nasacort Allergy 24HR is an unscented, no taste formulation I use for my allergy symptoms. I use this product because it provides me non-drowsy, non-drip nasal allergy relief. The best part, you ask? Nasacort Allergy 24HR formula works around the clock, which means I can get 24 hour relief from my worst symptoms!
I see you, ragweed – and I’m about to up the ante. It’s not easy being sneezy, but I found relief and so can you. Nasacort Allergy 24HR is available without a prescription for adults and children over the age of 12.
For more information on Nasacort Allergy 24HR, visit www.nasacort.ca. To be sure this product is right for you, always read and follow the label.

My hubby really needs to try this out thanks for sharing , he has tried everything but this !! he has terrible allergies , i hope this will help him !
My poor son needs this. Every spring and every fall is so hard for him because of allergies.
Thank you for sharing! My son has been struggling with nasal issues for years and we are still trying to figure out if it’s allergies or not, sure isn’t simple! Good to know what your triggers are though.
Thank you for sharing this. This would definitely help ease our allergy symptoms!
Nothing worse than a constantly runny nose!
Luckily I do not suffer from any allergies, but my husband on the other hand gets the sneezing from all the tree pollen twice a year, he drives me nuts with all of his sneezing!
I had a couple of wasp stings this summer and I had to use allergy medication. My sneezes are really loud. It is embarrassing because if I don’t have time to cover my nose and mouth it startles people around me.
My husband is very sneezy. I don’t mind, though! I’ll let him know about Nasacort Allergy 24HR. He prefers something that lasts a long time because he forgets to take stuff with him to work.
This would definitely help ease our allergy symptoms. Thank you for sharing .
i am fortunate in not suffering from any seasonal allergies, but some people in my family really struggle with them – these tips and suggestions in managing symptoms are very helpful! thank you!
thankfully i don’t have an issue with allergies but i know a few people who do !
I need to try Nasacort. I live on allergy meds. I am wondering though if it really dries out the sinuses.
I can barely remember to keep a log of my food I’m never gonna be able to track my sneezes lol
Allergies can be the worst! I’m glad to hear Nasacort Allergy 24HR provides all day long relief. I’ll have to look into this brand come spring.
My dad needs to try this, he’s tried most allergy remedies and none seem to work
Nasacort is the brand my doctor recommends too. Seems the older I get the more allergies bother me. Wonder if there is something about being older.
My hubby has horrible allergies as well – not fun! I’ll have to see if Nasacort Allergy will work for him!
I feel for you! Allergies are not fun… it doesn’t affect me on the regular but when I do, I need immediate relief. I typically use whatever is on sale, but I will give Nasacort a try next time.
My husband is kind of allergic to cats. But he got our first kitten, then we agreed to get another, we rescued a girl, and our third cat came accidentally. A stray girl kept showing up at night, they fed her and watered her. I took her for the moment as it was a busy street. So she was about 3 months old. I hope we are done. Lol…
Will check into the Nasacort Allergy. both kids and I have allergies!
Looks like great product for allergy relief, the best part it lasts long and non-drowsy!
I don’t have allergies but my dad does. I can tell him to try this, I know he never has.
I have terrible allergies and need to use a nasal steroid fairly often. Nasocort is one that I can vouch works well.
Seems all my son does is sniff & sneeze from allergies (drives me crazy!) He is now old enough to take Nasocort. Impressive it works for 24 hours. Will have to try this!
I’m going to suggest this to my mom and sister. Their allergies are so bad!
Like your husband, I’m affected by indoor allergies that can be caused by pet dander, dust mites, mold, flowers, trees, freshly cut grass, etc. and the allergies trigger asthma, so it’s really not fun being affected all year round. I take prescription medication to keep the allergies under control and do use the prescribed Nasacort in conjunction with 2 inhalers and they definitely help to get the symptoms under control.
I seem to have grown out of my allergies but now both of my teens are dealing with them! I will have to check out Nasacort
