Parenting/ HealthLifestyle / Parenting/ Health 3 weeks ago 21 Views 0 comments
Spring brings warmer weather, sunnier skies, green trees and . . . allergy season. For people with pollen allergies, a new growing season often means allergy symptoms.
Tree pollen is the most common allergen this time of year. The warmer temperatures and longer sun exposure causes trees to blossom and/or leaf and produce pollen.
While pollen production gives us many benefits – such as fruit, seeds, shade, and new trees – it also means the release of a potent allergy trigger.
Symptoms of Pollen Allergy
Symptoms of pollen allergy include:
Runny nose (also known as rhinorrhea – usually a thin, clear discharge)
Stuffy nose (due to blockage or nasal congestion)
Sneezing
Red and watery eyes
Itchy nose, eyes, ears, or mouth
Swelling around the eyes
Some of these symptoms are similar to a cold, flu, or COVID-19. If you have seasonal pollen allergies, you’ll want to take steps to prevent and manage your symptoms.
