Springtime allergies

Springtime allergies, often triggered by pollen from trees, grasses, and flowers, affect millions of people as the seasons change. Common symptoms include sneezing, nasal congestion, itchy eyes, and respiratory discomfort. These allergies occur when the immune system overreacts to allergens, leading to inflammation. Managing springtime allergies typically involves avoiding allergens, using antihistamines, and considering immunotherapy for long-term relief. Awareness of peak pollen times and local allergen forecasts can also help individuals prepare and minimize their symptoms.
