Early Signs of Seasonal Allergies & How to Stay Healthy

Spring is right around the corner in New England, which means pollen season is creeping up! If you’ve started feeling sniffly, sneezy, or just "off," it might not be a lingering winter cold—it could be seasonal allergies kicking in.

Early Signs of Seasonal Allergies:

✅ Persistent sneezing
Runny or stuffy nose (without a fever)
Itchy, watery eyes
Scratchy throat or postnasal drip
Fatigue (from your immune system working overtime)
Coughing or wheezing, especially if you have asthma

How to Protect Your Health:

💊 Start allergy meds early (Antihistamines & nasal sprays work best before peak pollen season!)
🏡 Keep windows closed to limit pollen indoors
🚿 Shower & change clothes after spending time outside
🌬️ Use an air purifier to reduce allergens in your home
🌿 Try a saline rinse to clear out nasal passages
🩺 See an ENT or allergist if symptoms become severe

Don’t wait until symptoms are in full swing—take action now!
