A high allergy alert for weeds, like ragweed, is at a high range for the next couple of days. Ragweed is the fall pollen that triggers many issues for some people. If you feel like you have exhausted the over-the- counter shelf with allergy medicine or nasal spray, getting evaluated by an allergist could be the next step to take.

“The allergist can help prescribe a few other options, but then there’s something called Immunotherapy or allergy shots which really can make a significant difference for those that are suffering from their allergies.” said Oklahoma Allergy M.D. Maya N. Gharfeh.
