With the arrival of spring, many people begin to experience symptoms such as frequent sneezing, nasal itching, congestion or respiratory discomfort. Although common at this time of year, they should not be normalised.
According to the Allergy team at CreuBlanca, these symptoms may be related to allergies, particularly due to increased pollen levels in the air.
Why do allergies increase in spring?
During spring, many plants release pollen as part of their reproductive cycle. This pollen spreads through the air and can trigger allergic reactions in sensitive individuals.
Other allergens may also contribute, such as:
- Dust mites
- Fungi
- Animal dander
What are the most common symptoms?
- Repeated sneezing
- Nasal or throat itching
- Nasal congestion
- Watery or itchy eyes
- Fatigue
Do you know what you are allergic to?
At CreuBlanca, we perform allergy tests (Prick Tests), a simple, safe and quick method to identify the specific allergens involved.
The importance of early diagnosis
Early diagnosis allows patients to anticipate spring and manage symptoms more effectively.
Don’t normalise your symptoms
If you experience these symptoms every year, seeking medical advice and appropriate testing can make a significant difference.
