Seasonal Spring Allergic Rhinitis

Whether it’s the unseasonable climate or just your typical Houston allergies, this year is going to be a tough one for allergy sufferers, both new and old. While February is typical for doldrums of cold and flu season, early pollination this year may actually be the cause of your nasal congestion, sore throat, and itchy and watery eyes.

When Are Allergy Symptoms Worse?

The following weather factors also can influence how bad your symptoms might be:

  • Tree, grass and ragweed pollens thrive during cool nights and warm days.
  • Molds grow quickly in heat and high humidity.
  • Pollen levels tend to peak in the morning hours.
  • Rain washes pollen away, but pollen counts can soar after rainfall.
  • On a day with no wind, airborne allergens are grounded.
  • When the day is windy and warm, pollen counts surge.
