Dr. Horton Shares Allergy Tips on WATE

Spring is finally on its way! While we are looking forward to days without snowy forecasts and frigid temps, not all of us are looking forward to the sniffles and sinus problems that often accompany the change in seasons. Dr. William Horton, one of our resident allergy experts, was recently a guest on WATE 6 On Your Side to discuss the onset of springtime allergies.   A much higher pollen count is expected this year, which means it’s time to get proactive!   “Most studies show that if you begin the medication before the allergy season starts, before the pollen actually hits, you’re more likely to have an improved allergy season than if you wait,” says Dr. Horton.
