However, for the millions of people who suffer from seasonal allergies, the arrival of spring can mean weeks or even months of sneezing, sniffling, and itching. According to the CDC, nearly 26% of adults and 19% of children suffer from seasonal allergies and deal with symptoms such as watery eyes, nasal congestion, and sinus pain.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/blogs.cooperhealth.org\/ehealth\/2025\/03\/20\/how-to-survive-spring-allergies\/#espanol\">Para leer en Espa\u00f1ol, por favor haga clic aqu\u00ed<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u201cAllergies are triggered by substances called allergens, such as pollen or mold spores,\u201d says\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.cooperhealth.org\/doctors\/maria-lania-howarth-md\">Maria Lania-Howarth, MD, FACAAI, FAAAI<\/a>, Head,\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.cooperhealth.org\/services\/allergy-asthma-and-immunology\">Division of Allergy\/Immunology<\/a>\u00a0at\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.cooperhealth.org\/\">Cooper University Health Care<\/a>. \u201cMany trees, grasses, and weeds contain small and light pollen that are easily carried by the wind, causing allergy symptoms to flare up in the spring.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The most common symptoms of seasonal allergies include:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Sneezing.<\/li>\n<li>Runny or stuffy nose.<\/li>\n<li>Itchy or watery eyes.<\/li>\n<li>Itchy nose or throat.<\/li>\n<li>Postnasal drip.<\/li>\n<li>Hives or welts.<\/li>\n<li>Fatigue.<\/li>\n<li>Headache.<\/li>\n<li>Ear congestion.<\/li>\n<li>Sinus pressure or pain.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>These symptoms can range from mild to severe and can interfere with daily activities and sleep.<\/p>\n<h3>Common Allergy Treatments<\/h3>\n<p>If you are diagnosed with seasonal allergies, your allergist may recommend one or more medications to control symptoms. Some medications are only available by prescription. Most recommended treatments, however, are available at your local drug store, without a prescription. These include nasal sprays, antihistamines, and decongestants.<\/p>\n<p>Allergy shots (immunotherapy) can be used for people with allergic rhinitis, conjunctivitis (eye reaction), or allergy-triggered asthma. Because it can take six to 18 months for allergy shots to become effective, you may need to take allergy medications in the meantime.<\/p>\n<h3>Make the Season More Enjoyable by Following These Steps<\/h3>\n<p><strong>Inside Your Home<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Do a thorough spring cleaning. Throughout the winter, windows, bookshelves, and air conditioning vents collect dust and mold that can lead to allergy symptoms.<\/li>\n<li>Shut windows on days when pollen counts are high and avoid opening windows or using fans that may draw pollen inside.<\/li>\n<li>Keep pets off the bed and do not allow them to sleep with you at night, as pollen can cling to their paws and fur.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>When You Go Outside<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Check local pollen counts before going outside and plan your activities to avoid times when pollen counts are highest, which is usually between 10 a.m. and 3 p.m. High pollen counts can vary depending on weather conditions and location. Most weather apps list pollen levels and some even break them down by the worst offenders (tree, grass, ragweed, etc.).<\/li>\n<li>Wear a hat to cover your head and protect your hair from pollen. You can also wear sunglasses to protect your eyes. Consider wearing a face mask, especially while gardening or mowing the lawn.<\/li>\n<li>Take a shower and change clothes when you come inside to wash off any pollen that may have stuck to your skin or clothing.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>When to Talk to a Doctor<\/h3>\n<p>\u201cIf you find that at-home remedies or over-the-counter medications are not helping, or if you get sinus infections, headaches, or ear infections on top of seasonal allergies, it might be time to consult with an allergist,\u201d Dr. Lania says. \u201cThey can help figure out what you are allergic to and teach you how to avoid your allergy triggers.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>To learn more about managing your seasonal allergies, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cooperhealth.org\/services\/allergy-asthma-and-immunology\/ebook\">download our free e-book<\/a>, which offers tips on allergy testing, treatments, and prevention.<\/p>\n<p>If you are suffering from seasonal allergies, make an appointment with a Cooper allergy specialist by calling <a href=\"tel:8008266737\">800.8.COOPER<\/a> (<a href=\"tel:8008266737\">800.826.6737<\/a>) or using our <a href=\"https:\/\/request.cooperhealth.org\/request.php?source=ehealth_blog\">online form<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p><a name=\"espanol\"><\/a><br \/>\n&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2>Consejos de expertos para sobrevivir a las alergias primaverales<\/h2>\n<p>A medida que el clima se calienta y las flores y los \u00e1rboles comienzan a florecer, muchos de nosotros estamos emocionados de pasar tiempo al aire libre. Sin embargo, para los millones de personas que sufren de alergias estacionales, la llegada de la primavera puede significar semanas o incluso meses de estornudos, resfriados y picores. Seg\u00fan los CDC, casi el 26 % de los adultos y el 19 % de los ni\u00f1os sufren de alergias estacionales y lidian con s\u00edntomas como ojos llorosos, congesti\u00f3n nasal y dolor en los senos paranasales.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Las alergias son provocadas por sustancias llamadas al\u00e9rgenos, como el polen o las esporas de moho&#8221;, dice Maria <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cooperhealth.org\/doctors\/maria-lania-howarth-md\">Maria Lania-Howarth, MD, FACAAI, FAAAI<\/a>, directora de la <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cooperhealth.org\/services\/allergy-asthma-and-immunology\">Divisi\u00f3n de Alergia\/Inmunolog\u00eda<\/a> de <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cooperhealth.org\/\">Cooper University Health Care<\/a>. \u201cMuchos \u00e1rboles, pastos y malezas contienen polen peque\u00f1o y liviano que el viento transporta f\u00e1cilmente, lo que provoca que los s\u00edntomas de alergia se presenten en la primavera\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>Los s\u00edntomas m\u00e1s comunes de las alergias estacionales incluyen:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Estornudos.<\/li>\n<li>Nariz mocosa o congestionada.<\/li>\n<li>Ojos llorosos o con picaz\u00f3n.<\/li>\n<li>Picaz\u00f3n en la nariz o la garganta.<\/li>\n<li>Goteo postnasal.<\/li>\n<li>Urticaria o verdugones.<\/li>\n<li>Fatiga.<\/li>\n<li>Dolor de cabeza.<\/li>\n<li>Congesti\u00f3n del o\u00eddo.<\/li>\n<li>Presi\u00f3n o dolor sinusal.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Estos s\u00edntomas pueden variar de leves a graves y pueden interferir con las actividades diarias y el sue\u00f1o.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Tratamientos comunes para alergias<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Si le diagnostican alergias estacionales, su alerg\u00f3logo puede recomendarle uno o m\u00e1s medicamentos para controlar los s\u00edntomas.
