We will go through the medications' side effects we need to be careful of, and some exercises to help us keep things on track.

What You Will Learn In This Episode:

- The importance of letting the doctor know we work with our voice before he prescribes any medicine

- How staying hydrated can help us with hay fever

- What kind of medicine components we should avoid

- How vocal naps and avoiding clearing our throats can help us in our recovery

- How consuming local honey can help us build immunity to the particular pollen in our area
