Some things to consider doing include the following:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Make an appointment with your healthcare provider before your trip<\/strong>. Discuss any concerns you have, as well as where you\u2019re going and what activities you have planned so that your provider can give you specific recommendations on how to stay safe and make sure you have the proper medication when traveling.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Pack any needed medical supplies<\/strong>. Make sure you have all your prescription and over-the-counter medications, inhalers, EPIPENs\u00ae and any other <a href=\"https:\/\/carolinapinesent.com\/allergy\/allergy-treatments\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">allergy treatments <\/a>you might need. Bring enough for the entire time you\u2019re traveling and a few extra days in case of delays. Don\u2019t forget your medical alert bracelet or any other important health documents if you have them, either.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Bring your own snacks<\/strong>. If you have food allergies, consider packing some safe snacks, so you have food to eat while on the flight or waiting to board at Greenville-Spartanburg International Airport.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">While On Vacation<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Going out and trying new foods is an exciting aspect of travel. However, if you have food allergies, it can also be quite stressful. Don\u2019t eat anything if you aren\u2019t completely sure of the ingredients. Ask your server any questions or clarifications, and when in doubt, don\u2019t eat it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you accidentally ingest something and feel the signs of a severe allergic reaction, such as difficulty breathing or swelling of lips, tongue or face, use your EPIPEN\u00ae and seek emergency medical attention.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Other ways to minimize your allergy symptoms while traveling include:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li>Minimizing outdoor activities when pollen levels or air pollution is high<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Requesting hotel rooms (or other accommodations) that are smoke-free and pet-free<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>To learn more about traveling with allergies or if you wish to schedule an appointment with an expert allergist, contact <span class=\"company-name \">Carolina Pines ENT<\/span> today.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><ul class=\"related-posts\"><li><a href=\"https:\/\/carolinapinesent.com\/how-to-combat-dry-eyes-from-allergies\/\" class=\"related-post\">How to Combat Dry Eyes From Allergies<\/a><\/li><li><a href=\"https:\/\/carolinapinesent.com\/winter-allergens-are-indoor-allergies-making-you-sick\/\" class=\"related-post\">Winter Allergens: Are Indoor Allergies Making You Sick?<\/a><\/li><li><a href=\"https:\/\/carolinapinesent.com\/tips-for-avoiding-allergies-during-halloween-activities\/\" class=\"related-post\">Tips for Avoiding Allergies During Halloween Activities<\/a><\/li><\/ul><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Allergies are an incredibly common condition.
