(HealthNewsDigest.com) - Rockville, MD -- May 19, 2015  -- Everyone knows that spring season means allergy season, and spring allergies can provide a lot of discomfort for both kids and adults. Some of the symptoms of springtime allergies include sneezing, coughing, stuffy noses, itchy eyes, and more. The Asthma and Allergy Foundation of America has found allergies to be the third most common chronic disease among children. With so many children suffering from these seasonal allergies, it's good to know the different ways that parents can provide their children with some relief from their symptoms. Nina Farzin, Pharmacist, mom of three and inventor of oogiebear, shares her tips for relieving spring allergies in children.

1. Keep windows closed in your home.

One way to help provide your children with some relief is to keep the pollen and dust outdoors from getting inside. This is especially important on days when the pollen count is high and the wind is blowing.

2. Remove stuffed animals.

Stuffed animals attract dust mites and other allergens so they should not be kept on your child's bed. Instead, keep them stored away, cut down on the collection, and wash them regularly. You can also try putting the stuffed animal in a zipper storage bag and leave it in the freezer all night to eliminate allergens.

3. Protect your child's bedding.

There are other parts of your child's room where allergens may be lurking. Look for hypoallergenic bed sheets and use a mattress and pillow protector. These will trap allergens within the bedding in a way that prevents your child from inhaling them during the night.

4. Get rid of mucus.

A stuffy or runny nose is a telltale sign of spring allergies and very uncomfortable for kids. Clear out blocked noses with oogiebear - a special mucus removal tool designed to safely and gently remove both wet and dried mucus from a child's nostrils. This can help your child breathe easier and the tool works to clean ears too!

5. Use a dehumidifier.

Mold, mildew, and dust mites are known to grow in moist areas and areas with high humidity. Invest in a dehumidifier for your home to decrease the level of moisture and limit the growth of these allergens.
