Preparing for Seasonal Allergies
Spring is here and it’s a time when seasonal allergies can act up, especially as trees begin to
pollinate. Furthermore, changes in temperature and rainfall can make seasonal allergies even
worse. If your child has allergies, it’s important to be prepared for the spring season ahead.
Firstly, if you’re unsure if your child has allergies or not, it’s good to be aware of the common
signs. Symptoms can often feel like a common cold and include a runny and stuffy nose,
sneezing, sniffling, headaches, fatigue, eye irritation, coughing, itchiness, and rashes. If you
notice any of these, please call our office to make an appointment. Our pediatrician will
examine these symptoms for a diagnosis and decide if your child needs to be tested for asthma.
