Along with the warmer weather, many of our patients begin to see seasonal allergies return in late March and early April. Sneezing, clear runny nose, and watery/itchy/swollen eyes are prominent symptoms due to tree pollen allergies in spring. For some patients, this is a minor nuisance that can be addressed by bathing at night after outside play and occasional over the counter antihistamines. For children with more significant symptoms, it may be best to stay indoors on high pollen days and take daily preventive medication. If your child is typically on preventive allergy medication in spring, a good rule of thumb is to begin those medications in mid-March. We are also happy to see our patients in the office to discuss how to treat or prevent allergy symptoms and when it might be beneficial to see an allergist.
