Spring brings warmer weather, blooming flowers, and longer days. But along with the beauty of the season comes something many people dread—spring allergies. As trees, grass, and plants begin releasing pollen into the air, allergy symptoms start to appear for many people.
If you’ve noticed more sneezing, congestion, or itchy eyes lately, you’re not alone. Seasonal allergies affect millions of people each year and can make everyday activities uncomfortable.
Common Symptoms of Spring Allergies
Seasonal allergies can cause a variety of symptoms, including:
-
Sneezing
-
Runny or stuffy nose
-
Itchy or watery eyes
-
Sinus pressure or headaches
-
Frequent coughing
-
Nasal congestion
These symptoms can disrupt sleep, make it harder to concentrate, and keep you from enjoying the warmer weather.
Is It Allergies, a Cold, or a Sinus Infection?
It can sometimes be difficult to tell the difference between allergies, a cold, or a sinus infection since many symptoms overlap. If symptoms last longer than expected, become more severe, or don’t improve with over-the-counter medications, it may be time to see a healthcare provider.
