Common Seasonal Allergy Symptoms
Seasonal allergies can cause a long list of symptoms. The exact symptoms you experience will depend on how allergic you are to your allergens and how often you’re exposed. Common seasonal allergy symptoms include:
- Runny nose
- Sneezing
- Cough
- Sore throat
- Post-nasal drip
- Hives
- Rash
- Red & itchy eyes
Is it Normal for Seasonal Allergy Symptoms to Last Through the Summer?
Although spring is known as allergy season, seasonal allergies can occur throughout the year. Many people who suffer from spring allergies also experience seasonal allergy symptoms in the summer and fall. Seasonal allergies are less common in the winter due to the colder weather.
How long your seasonal allergy symptoms last will depend on whether you’re exposed to allergens that you’re allergic to. For some, certain plants can cause allergy symptoms which may cause their symptoms to be short-lived and only last during peak bloom season for that specific plant. For others, airborne pollen can cause symptoms to last for weeks or even months.
Allergy Symptom Management Tips
If you’re experiencing symptoms of seasonal allergies, having a symptom management plan is essential. Seasonal allergies can be managed at home with over-the-counter medications in most cases. Antihistamines are the most commonly used medication for seasonal allergy symptoms because they reduce your body’s immune response to allergens. However, there are also symptom-specific medications available, including eye drops, nasal sprays, decongestants, and more. Limiting exposure to allergens when possible will also help mitigate symptoms.
