Common Symptoms of Seasonal Allergies
Seasonal allergies can cause a variety of different symptoms ranging from mild to severe. The kind of symptoms you experience and how severe your symptoms are will vary based on how severe your allergy is. Common symptoms of fall allergies include:
- Sneezing
- Congestion
- Runny nose
- Sore throat
- Fatigue
- Itchy eyes
- Cough
How to Treat Allergy-Induced Eye Irritation
Eye irritation is a common symptom from seasonal allergies. It is important to know how to effectively treat irritated and itchy eyes, because swollen and irritated eyes can be very painful. In many cases, seasonal allergies can be managed at home with an OTC medication routine. However, if your symptoms are severe, you may need to seek medical care from an allergist.
Taking antihistamines are a great way to reduce allergy symptoms because they block your body's immune response to allergens. There are also plenty of medications available for specific allergy symptoms, including allergy-specific eye drops to target and quickly relieve itchy eyes.
