histamines<\/a> into the bloodstream. Histamines are a compound released by the body in response to an injury and inflammatory or allergic reaction. These histamines produce the symptoms common to an allergic reaction.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\nSome of the most common causes of seasonal allergies vary depending on the season.<\/span><\/p>\n\n- Spring:<\/b>\u00a0Trees are usually responsible for allergies during the springtime. Cedar, birch, willow, alder, and horse chestnuts are more of the most popular ones.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n
- Summer:<\/b>\u00a0“Hay fever” receives its name from this season, during which most hay-cutting takes place. However, ryegrass, timothy grass, and certain weeds are the actual elements to blame for summertime allergies.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n
- Fall:\u00a0<\/b>Ragweed, also known as Ambrosia, is the typical reason behind autumn allergies. Their pollen is a common allergen, and the symptoms associated with Ragweed allergies are among the most severe. They are invasive plants that are difficult to control and have over 40 species worldwide.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n
- Winter:<\/b>\u00a0Although winter is the season in which people with hay fever get their relief, it is also the season when we spend more time indoors. People with seasonal allergies might also suffer allergic reactions to indoor allergens such as mold, pet fluff, or dust mites. Some people even experience allergies due to cockroaches.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
Symptoms<\/b><\/h3>\n
Symptoms of seasonal allergies can vary depending on each person. Some people might experience more intense symptoms than others, and some might even carry these symptoms with them for longer than the spring and summer months.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n\n- Sneezing<\/span><\/li>\n
- Stuffy, clogged, or runny nose<\/span><\/li>\n
- Ear congestion<\/span><\/li>\n
- Itchy throat, sinuses, or ear canals<\/span><\/li>\n
- Coughing<\/span><\/li>\n
- Headaches<\/span><\/li>\n
- Shortness of breath<\/span><\/li>\n
- Asthma (many people with hay fever also tend to suffer from asthma. These seasonal allergies could trigger an asthma attack.)<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
Seasonal allergies treatment<\/h3>\n
There are multiple ways to treat or alleviate seasonal allergies:<\/span><\/p>\n\n- Avoidance:<\/b>\u00a0Reviewing the weather for pollen counts and staying home when they are high, keeping windows shut, limiting time outdoors, or wearing a dusk mask outside can reduce allergies. Using an air conditioner with a HEPA filter over a ceiling fan to cool the home would benefit as well. Smoking can also lead to worsened allergy symptoms.<\/span><\/li>\n
- Medication:\u00a0<\/b>over-the-counter antihistamines such as Zyrtec (cetirizine), combination medications containing phenylephrine, diphenhydramine, and acetaminophen would all be helpful to alleviate allergies. Other options include prescription medications such as steroid nasal sprays, or in severe cases, a doctor might recommend allergy shots.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
