Allergy season is a yearlong problem for many students, so it's important administrators and parents know how to help them. Doing so will ensure they are able to concentrate on their studies.
In the final part of our two-part series, we'll explore a few more ways to help kids who suffer from allergies stay productive while in the classroom.
1. Use humidifiers
Is the air in your school dry? Dry air can worsen allergy symptoms such as coughing, wheezing and sneezing.
If the school allows, teachers may be able to place individual dehumidifiers in their classrooms. The moisture will make breathing easier. However, be careful, as humidity over 40 percent can promote the growth of mold and dust mites.
2. Teach kids what not to do
If a child is suffering from itchy eyes, one of the first things they're likely to do is rub them. However, this will only make the condition worse. As allergy season kicks into gear, it's important to go over what to do and not to do so kids understand how to keep themselves safe and healthy.
3. Have them visit the nurse
If a child is having a difficult time managing his allergies, he should visit the nurse. The nurse will have his medical records on file and be able to treat him properly.
