Dealing with Seasonal Allergies?
Warmer weather means blooming season! When exposed to stimulants like tree pollen that trigger a histamine reaction, your body can develop symptoms similar to a cold. Unlike colds, allergy symptoms can last for 12 weeks or more!
If you believe you have allergies, one of the most important things you can do is visit a doctor who specializes in allergies. An allergy specialist can conduct tests to determine if your issues are triggered by an allergic reaction and exactly what is causing the reaction. It is also important to receive medical attention for allergies if they are triggering secondary conditions, such as sinus or ear infections, or if you are dealing with other health issues.
Common Symptoms to Look Out For:
Itchy, watery, or red eyes
Sneezing
Runny nose + nasal congestion
Once the cause of your allergies is determined, a treatment plan is created to help you manage your symptoms and improve your quality of life.
