A List of Symptoms from Seasonal Allergy

Seasonal allergy, also known as hay fever, produces a variety of symptoms such as eye irritation, sneezing, and congestion. Hay fever is neither caused by hay nor results to a fever.

Here are the common list symptoms for this disorder:

• Runny nose

• Sneezing

• Congestion

• Itchy throat

• Itchy, watery, red eyes

• Dry cough

• Impaired sense of smell and taste

• Sleep disturbances  

Normally, itchy, watery eyes are often the very first sign that pollen season is coming. For some, there may be an initial tickle on the roof of the mouth or in the back of their throat. Then sneezing and runny nose would soon follow. In addition, some people with hay fever suffer congestion, wheezing, headaches, and coughing. These symptoms normally disturb your daily routine and sleeping pattern resulting to irritability. Moreover, some rare cases of allergic conjunctivitis may also occur. 

Allergies can appear anytime depending on the disposition of your immune system. The average age that allergies begin is 10 years. Some people would suffer from seasonal allergies as young adults while some may get it later in life. Hay fever can occur to any one regardless of race, gender, ethnic background, and age.
