How can one get rid of allergies every spring?

Question

Hello doctor,

I am 34 years old, and I have been battling with these annoying allergies every spring, and I am tired of it. Although there are not many trees around where I live, there is a park close by with blossoming trees. Could they cause my continuous sneezing, watery eyes, and itchy nose? I am considering relocating to a location with fewer allergens, but I am unsure if it will be helpful. How do you feel about this? Is there anything else I can do to treat these problems, or should I pack up and move to a new location? I am just hoping for some relief because it seems like this never-ending cycle. Any guidance you could provide would be very valued.

Kindly help.

Hello,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

I just read your query. I can understand your concern.

This could be a seasonal allergy or allergic rhinitis. How long have the symptoms been there? Does anything make it better? Does any time of the day worsen your symptoms? Is there any trouble with breathing? Are there any joint pains or headaches? Have you ever tried any anti-allergic medicines before? Are you a known asthmatic patient? Any family history of allergies, or were you being diagnosed as allergic to anything? Have you ever been tested for any allergies?

Is there anything else you believe you are allergic to besides pollen, similar to dust, any kind of clothing, paints, carpets, pets, or birds at home? May I know your occupation?

I do not think you need to move from your place. It is treatable, and you should get all the investigations done with treatment.

Thank you.

Regards.
