On top of everything else you are doing, please add these to your list to try to get better until the season passes. When you go outside and come back in, wash your hands and change your clothes. The pollen will attach itself to your hair and clothes so you need to change and wash your hair often, along with your hands. Instead of stratching, or rubbing your eyes, which I know is hard not to do, lay down with a cold rag over your eyes and keep them shut. Another thing to do is use a saline nasal wash. This will wash out the allergen that gets caught up in your nostrils. Wash your pillows and bedding more often, especially if you have laid down on your pillow after you have been outside without washing your hair. Change the air filter in your room every 2 weeks right now instead of once a month. If none of this helps, or it doesn't help enough, you may need to see your doctor about taking allergy shots. Go to a specialist, because I promise you you are probably allergic to more things that what you realize. A series of allergy shots will help build up your immune system towards your allergens. Another thing that also helps me, and it feels pretty good is if you lay down on your back, close your eyes and take your thumbs and put them right up under your eyebrows...you will have to feel for the peeks that look like this ^. With your thumbs, on your eyelids, and your pinkies facing away from your face, gently rub these peeks. This lady that done reflexology showed me this as a pressure point for sinus and allergies and it really does help you feel a little better. And in addition to the allegra, you might get a nose spray along with the saline nasal wash.
Good luck and hang in there!
