Source of your Allergy Problem
It can be hard to avoid allergens this time of year. Just walking outdoors in the morning can trigger symptoms that can last all day. You open the window for some fresh air and pollen inadvertently accumulates on all your favorite items. Even your pet, it just takes a few minutes outdoors and they are covered in allergens. Which ends up on your hands and inevitably creeping into your eyes and nose. Pets aren’t the only culprit, they can also make their way to bedding, carpets, and rugs.
Chronic allergies can not only make your life miserable, they can put you at a higher risk for serious health conditions
Allergic Fungal Sinusitis- Typically caused by an allergic reaction to the fungi found in the air. It causes swelling and can block the sinuses. Which creates the perfect environment for more fungi to grow, perpetuating the cycle. Since there are several types of sinusitis, an ear, nose, and throat doctor is necessary to diagnose and treatment.
Allergy Induced Asthma- Can be triggered by a several substances, including pollen, pet dander, dust mites, and mold spores. Though symptoms can vary from person to person. Shortness of breath and wheezing are typical. Your immune system response to the allergen is to produce more mucus and narrowing of the airway, making it difficult to breath.
