As seasons change, many find themselves dealing with runny noses, itchy eyes, and sneezing. These seasonal allergies, often called hay fever, are immune responses to airborne triggers:
* **Common Causes**: Pollen from trees in spring, grass in summer, and weeds in autumn, along with mold spores.
* **Key Symptoms**: Sneezing, nasal congestion, watery or red eyes, and throat tickles. Unlike a cold, allergies do not cause fever.
* **Treatments**: Antihistamines, nasal sprays, and avoiding outdoor activity during peak pollen times (usually early morning).
If symptoms persist, consult a General Physician for a tailored treatment plan.
