Self-care for Allergy
Self-care for allergy can be approached in a number of ways. To make it easier, doctors recommend trying these simple steps first:

Work with a professional who specializes in food sensitivities to see if certain foods are causing your allergy
Clean it up
Control household allergens like dust, mold, and animal dander to reduce your overall allergic load
See an allergist
Find a health professional to help you manage your allergy
Help children avoid allergy with beneficial bacteria
Take a supplement containing high-potency beneficial bacteria (probiotics) during pregnancy and give them to newborns to help reduce the risk of children developing allergy
