Spring Allergies: Recognizing Symptoms and Finding Relief

As spring blossoms in Trumbull, it brings warmer temperatures and blooming plants, along with the onset of allergy season, creating challenges for individuals sensitive to pollen.

At AFC Trumbull, we're committed to helping you manage these seasonal allergies so you can enjoy the beauty of spring without discomfort.

What Triggers Spring Allergies?

In Connecticut, the primary allergy triggers during the spring are pollens from trees, grasses, and weeds. These allergens are particularly potent from March through May and can profoundly affect daily life for those allergic.

It’s worth noting that allergies can develop at any stage of life, so if you’re experiencing symptoms for the first time, it’s important to get assessed.

Identifying Spring Allergy Symptoms

Common allergy symptoms during spring include:

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

Our healthcare professionals at AFC Trumbull are ready to evaluate your symptoms and help you manage your allergies effectively.

Tips for Reducing Pollen Exposure

To help reduce your pollen exposure this spring:

  • Try to limit outdoor activities to later in the day when pollen counts are typically lower.
  • Stay indoors during windy days or after high-pollen days.
  • Shower and change your clothing after being outside to remove pollen.
  • Use HEPA filters in your home and keep windows and doors closed during the peak pollen season.
  • Monitor local pollen reports to plan your outdoor activities when pollen levels are lower.
