Spring Allergies: Recognizing Symptoms and Finding Relief

Spring in Bridgeport brings the beauty of blooming plants along with the onset of allergy season, a challenging time for many.

At AFC Bridgeport, we're dedicated to helping you manage your spring allergies so that you can enjoy the season to its fullest without discomfort.

What Triggers Spring Allergies?

Here in Bridgeport, pollens from trees, grasses, and weeds are the primary culprits behind spring allergies. These allergens are particularly troublesome from March through May.

Remember, it’s never too late to develop allergies, even if you’ve never had them before. Being aware of the symptoms can help you seek treatment earlier.

Identifying Spring Allergy Symptoms

Common signs of allergies this season include:

  • Nasal congestion
  • Runny nose
  • Sneezing
  • Itching in the nose, throat, or eyes
  • Watery eyes
  • Sinus pressure
  • Sore throat
  • Headache
  • Fatigue

Our expert team at AFC Bridgeport is ready to diagnose these symptoms and recommend the best treatments to manage your allergies.

Tips for Reducing Pollen Exposure

To help lessen your exposure to pollen:

  • Schedule outdoor activities for times when pollen counts are lower, typically later in the day.
  • Avoid being outdoors on windy days or immediately after high pollen counts.
  • Shower and change clothes after outdoor exposure to remove pollen.
  • Keep your living spaces pollen-free by using HEPA filters and keeping windows and doors closed.
  • Stay informed with local pollen forecasts to better plan both outdoor and indoor activities.
