Sam Schroeder with Lima Memorial discusses some allergy symptoms and why they get more intense in the winter.
Sam Schroeder, laboratory director at Lima Memorial Health System, talks about testing to identify allergy triggers!
As the temperatures rise and more people spend time outdoors enjoying the summer sun, the number of injuries and health concerns that often require medical attention seem to increase as well.
The summer is a great time to get outside. But if you are a child that suffers from grass pollen or ragweed allergies, the outdoors could mean coughing, sneezing, and watery eyes.
Spring means blooming trees and longer days, but for some, it means sneezing fits and a runny nose thanks to seasonal allergies. Experts recommend trying an over-the-counter remedy, rinsing your sinuses, reducing your exposure to allergy triggers by avoiding them and avoiding the outdoors during the times of highest pollen counts in the early morning and at night. Allergies even affect us inside of our own home and there are ways to limit the number of allergens in the house.
Spring is in full swing, and for some, that means dealing with a few of the telltale signs of allergies. Jennifer Tobin with Lima Memorial Health System says that they have seen quite a few people coming through with symptoms of allergies like runny noses, sinus infections, and congestion.
Nartker recommends if you are dealing with allergies to use over the counter medicine such as antihistamines or nasal sprays.
Warmer temperatures have given us a glimpse of Spring here in West Central Ohio, but there's always more to expect than just nicer weather around this time of year.
