Medication may not be effective against pollen allergies

CHARLESTON, SC (WCSC) - One of the more irritating signs of spring is all the pollen. It's already covering cars and sidewalks.

Over the counter medicine isn't as effective as a prescription for getting some relief, according to the American College of Allergy, Asthma and Immunology.

They also say eating local honey is a myth and will not fight allergies.

About one-third of people have a mild reaction to pollen allergies including an itchy, tingling mouth, throat or lips.
