Welcome to spring...and seasonal allergies!
With the changes in weather tree pollen starts in April and May, while grass pops in late spring and early summer. Mold spores increase in spring and spike in the summer; add in windy days, thick humid air and allergy sufferers feel the symptoms!
Luckily there is some relief with over the counter antihistamines, nasal spray and eye drops. Physicians usually recommend starting your regimen a few weeks prior to allergy triggers since it takes time to build up and take effect. Speak to your doctor to determine the best treatment plan and timing.
Our immune system releases histamine once triggered by an allergen such as trees, plants, grasses and weeds. Allergy sufferers can have a difficult time breathing, concentrating and enjoying the season.
Symptoms can include:
Sneezing, itching, watery or red eyes, stuffy or runny nose, facial swelling, post nasal drip, irritated throat, headache, dark circles around eyes, wheeze or shortness of breath.
Fever is NOT a sign of allergies.
Treatment may include:
Saline nasal spray to clear the nasal passages and wash out pollen
Shower at night to reduce breathing pollen on skin and hair
Shut windows in the house and car
Use air conditioning, humidifyer or dehumidifier depending on symptom relief
Over the counter medication that your physician recommends
Stay hydrated
