Understanding Seasonal Allergies:

Seasonal allergies are typically triggered by airborne substances such as pollen, mold spores, and grass. Different seasons bring about different allergens, contributing to a variety of symptoms like sneezing, itching, and congestion. By identifying the specific triggers in each season, individuals can take proactive steps to manage their symptoms.

Managing Seasonal Allergies:

  1. Stay Informed: For pollen-allergic individuals, regularly check pollen forecasts and be aware of peak seasons for specific allergens in your region. Avoid being in the open fields on windy days.
  2. Allergy-Friendly Landscaping: Consider planting low-allergen plants and trees to minimize outdoor exposure at home.
  3. Indoor Allergen Control: Ensure adequate ventilation indoors to reduce mould growth.
  4. Medication Management: Discuss preventive and symptomatic medications with your healthcare provider to find the most effective treatment plan.
