Pollen is perhaps the most obvious springtime asthma and allergy offender. As weeds, trees, grass and other plants begin to blossom, they release pollen into the air. If you're allergic to pollen, you know what happens next—a constant onslaught of sneezes and sniffles. Allergic reactions can cause symptoms in your nose, lungs, throat, sinuses, ears, lining of the stomach or on the skin. For many people with allergic asthma, these triggers may result in asthma symptoms, that may make it more difficult to breathe or cause an asthma flare-up. Allergens such as pollen aren’t the only spring trigger. Air pollution and temperature changes can also make your symptoms worse. But that doesn’t mean you need to lock yourself inside.
