Let's say one day you wake up and suddenly feel like you're sick. The only difference is you don't feel run down or tired, but other symptoms exist. Watching the news that morning, the meteorologist informs you your home state is experiencing one of the worst allergy seasons in recent time. Then it pops into your head: maybe you have allergies.
However, how would you know if you actually do? The following are common symptoms you should look out for, as well as treatment options:
1. Nasal symptoms
If you have Hay Fever, you're likely to have a runny or stuffy nose. You may also feel pressure on your nasal passages. These symptoms are the result of your body overreacting to harmless foreign agents like pollen. Many people use nasal sprays to clear up nasal passages. However, some who would rather not use medication use Neti pot or a nasal rinse instead.
2. Sneezing
If you have allergies, you won't sneeze once or twice. You'll sneeze so many times it'll feel like you may never stop. There's also a chance you'll get a headache as a result of the sneezing episode. To reduce the chance of having a sneezing fit, ensure your home is properly equipped with clean and updated air conditioners and air filters.
3. Itchy and watery eyes
Itchy and watery eyes are common symptoms along with having a runny and stuffy nose and sneezing. Don't fear though, as overly itchy or watery eyes won't cause short or long-term vision problems on their own. However, we suggest not rubbing your eyes as this can cause further irritation or injury.
