Sleeping with your head elevated can be very helpful for managing allergy symptoms at night. This position helps minimize coughing and postnasal drip by preventing mucus from pooling in the back of your throat. You can achieve this by using pillows to prop up your upper back.
Sleeping on your side can also be helpful, as it may help keep your airway open.
It's also important to minimize exposure to allergens by:
- Covering your mattress and pillows with dust mite-proof encasings.
- Keeping your dog or cat out of the bedroom.
- Keeping the bedroom windows closed to keep pollen outside.
