Spring Allergies: Recognizing Symptoms and Finding Relief

Springtime in Toms River not only heralds the return of warmer weather and beautiful blooms but also the start of allergy season, bringing discomfort to those sensitive to the environment.

At AFC Toms River, we're ready to help you address these springtime challenges so you can enjoy the season without the distress of allergy symptoms.

What Triggers Spring Allergies?

Throughout New Jersey, the spring months are known for high levels of pollen from trees, grasses, and weeds. This pollen is the main cause of discomfort for allergy sufferers during this period.

Adults can develop allergies at any time, so even if you haven't had problems in the past, it's good to be aware of the symptoms.

Identifying Spring Allergy Symptoms

Common signs of spring allergies to watch for include:

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

Our team at AFC Toms River will help you determine if your discomfort is due to allergies and suggest appropriate treatments.

Tips for Reducing Pollen Exposure

To reduce your exposure to pollen:

  • Plan outdoor activities later in the day when pollen counts are typically lower.
  • Stay indoors on windy days or when pollen counts are high.
  • After spending time outside, shower and change clothes to remove pollen.
  • Keep your home’s air clean with HEPA filters and keep windows and doors closed during high pollen periods.
  • Stay updated with local pollen forecasts to plan your outdoor activities strategically.
