Signs and Symptoms of Seasonal Allergies

Good pollen found in trees, grass, flowers, or other types of plants can trigger allergic symptoms. A person's reaction varies with various types of pollen. Some are only allergic to pollen found in grass, some are allergic to pollen from certain tree species. Pollen can be carried away by the wind and mixed with dust so that it is easily inhaled by those who suffer from allergies.

Allergies occur when our body's immune system overreacts to substances that are actually harmless. Pollen is one example of an allergen that triggers the immune system to produce histamine and cause allergic symptoms that you know.

Pollen allergy symptoms

Pollen allergy symptoms are more or less similar to flu and asthma symptoms such as:

Sneezing
The nose is congested or runny
Red, itchy, and runny eyes
Coughs
Shortness of breath and chest feels heavy
Breath becomes short and sounds
Itching on the skin

This symptom will appear when the patient is exposed to allergic triggers. Those with pollen allergies usually experience allergies around their own homes or in places that have lots of trees. Symptoms of pollen allergy usually occur during the growing tree season
