Preparing questions in advance can help patients to have more meaningful discussions with their physicians regarding their conditions. Patients may wish to ask their doctor the following questions regarding seasonal allergies:

1. What tests will you use to determine if I suffer from seasonal allergies?
   
   
2. What treatments are available to me?
   
   
3. Am I candidate for allergy shots?
   
   
4. During what months should I expect my allergies to flareup?
   
   
5. Will my symptoms completely disappear at certain times of year, or will they just be less intense?
   
   
6. Do I have to take my allergy medications year round, or just at certain times of year?
   
   
7. How can I reduce my exposure to allergens?
   
   
8. Would I benefit from the use of a HEPA filter?
   
   
9. Would I benefit from the use of a dehumidifier?
   
   
10. Are my children at an increased risk for seasonal allergies because I have them?
