Seasonal allergies develop when the body’s immune system overreacts to something in the environment, usually during spring, summer or fall when certain trees, grass, weed, ragweed, and mold pollinate.

Symptoms of Seasonal Allergies

• Coughing

• Itchy, watery eyes

• Nasal congestion

• Post-nasal drip

• Runny nose

• Skin itching, swelling or hives

• Sneezing

• Wheezing

If you suspect that you or your family member is allergic to a environmental allergen, talk with an allergist about doing a skin test.

Treatments for Seasonal Allergies

Once potential allergens have been identified through the skin test, your allergist will work with you to develop a treatment plan. Depending on the type and severity of your symptoms, your treatment may include:

• Tips for how to avoid allergens

• Nasal irrigation (neti pot or other similar sinus rinse)

• Oral antihistimines

• Nasal steroids

• Eye drops

• Allergy immunotherapy
