Despite warmer weather, it's not allergy season yet as pollen has not formed on trees. Sneezing and congestion could be due to indoor, year-round allergies such as pets or dust mites, or a cold. Allergist Dr. Todd Hostetler advises getting tested to identify specific allergies and differentiate from other conditions. Allergy season typically starts in spring, but its onset can be unpredictable and dependent on weather conditions.

Winter Woes: Unraveling the Mystery of Indoor Allergies

Winter allergies, also known as indoor allergies, can be more problematic and noticeable during the colder months. Spending more time indoors with sealed doors and windows, forced air heating, and decreased humidity levels can exacerbate symptoms caused by indoor allergens such as dust, pet dander, and mold. Common symptoms include sneezing, watery eyes, runny nose, nasal congestion, coughing, and postnasal drip. To manage winter allergies, it is recommended to stay on top of cleaning, use an air purifier, regularly change HVAC filters, and minimize pet dander. If symptoms persist, especially for those with asthma or suspected secondary infections, it is advised to consult a doctor.
