Seasonal Allergies

When spring comes or autumn leaves start falling, many people experience sneezing fits, itchy eyes and runny noses. These reactions are known as seasonal allergies (also called hay fever or allergic rhinitis).

Seasonal allergies happen when your immune system mistakes harmless airborne particles like pollen, mold spores or ragweed for dangerous invaders. It releases histamine and other chemicals to “defend” you, triggering symptoms.

Common Symptoms:

  • Sneezing, runny or stuffy nose

  • Itchy or watery eyes

  • Scratchy throat or cough

  • Fatigue and mild headache

Some people are more prone to it due to family history of allergies or asthma, living in areas with high pollen or mold counts and exposure to cigarette smoke or air pollution.

:stethoscope: Prevention & Management:

  • Track pollen counts: Limit outdoor activities when counts are high.

  • Keep windows closed: Use air conditioning and HEPA filters indoors.

  • Shower and change clothes: After coming inside, remove pollen from skin and hair.

  • Medications: Over-the-counter antihistamines, nasal corticosteroid sprays and decongestants can help (ask a healthcare professional before use).

  • Allergy testing & immunotherapy: For severe or persistent symptoms, allergists may recommend skin testing or allergy shots/tablets.

Common Myth: Honey and herbal remedies may soothe a sore throat, but they don’t cure allergies. Evidence for long-term relief mainly supports medical treatments and allergen avoidance.

Do you have any allergies that you face in day to day life?

The article does a great job of explaining that allergies are just the immune system overreacting and how symptoms can vary. It’s a fantastic reminder that a persistent “cold” might actually be an allergy and that there are many ways to find relief.

I don’t personally face allergies, but I’ve seen how challenging they can be in daily life. Even simple triggers like dust, pollen, or certain foods can disrupt routines, making awareness and preventive care really important.

Seasonal allergies can be really frustrating, especially when pollen counts are high. Tracking triggers, maintaining indoor air quality, and using appropriate medications can make a big difference. Allergy testing or immunotherapy can also provide long-term relief for persistent cases. It’s important to separate myths from science to manage symptoms effectively.
