About Seasonal Allergies

Are you one of the many who suffer from seasonal allergies year after year? These reactions occur when your body thinks it's fighting off harmful invaders, like bacteria and illness, but what ends up happening is it reacts too strongly – producing symptoms like a runny nose, sneezing, hives, and so forth. Because these symptoms are similar to those of a cold or flu, many people don't realize they have seasonal allergies, thinking instead that they have a stubborn illness. Instead, they are brought on by environmental triggers that are most prevalent during a particular season, like pollen, grass, oak, and so forth.

What Are The Symptoms?

The symptoms can vary depending on a person’s sensitivity and where they live, but for most of our patients the impacts wipe them out! Here are a few of them:

  • Sneezing
  • Runny Nose
  • Itchy/Water Eyes
  • Coughing
  • Exhaustion
  • Headaches
  • Ear Pressure
  • Skin Rashes/Eczema

Perhaps worst of all–it can disrupt your sleep. Chronic allergy symptoms can cause you to wake up several times during the night or even make it difficult to fall asleep. This disrupts the normal sleep cycle and results in poor sleep quality overall.

Get Your Allergy Medicine Fast with AFC

If you get seasonal allergies annually, your regular doctor likely knows about the problem and is ready to help. However, you never know exactly when they’ll strike – and sometimes, it’s hard to get an appointment on short notice. While it’s a good idea to check in with your primary care physician, you can walk into any AFC walk-in clinic to get the care you need right away. Our providers can write prescriptions if over-the-counter remedies aren’t cutting it, making it easier than ever to get the right medication. If you need more specialized care, we are happy to refer you to a specialist who can test to pinpoint your exact allergies.

Don’t suffer needlessly if you’re dealing with seasonal allergies or another type of allergic reaction – visit your local AFC today.
