Breathe Easy This Fall: Tackling Autumn Allergies with Queen Lynch Pharmacy.

As crisp leaves start to fall and sweater weather sets in, many of us are breathing a sigh of relief, only to find another sneaky worry hanging in the air: Autumn allergies. I am Lena from Queen Lynch Pharmacy, and you're not alone if you are among the many people in Brampton who are suddenly dealing with sniffles, sneezes, and itchy eyes. Let’s face it, fall is beautiful, but those airborne allergens? Not so much.

The Reasons Fall Allergies Are Severe

Although the pollen high of spring may not be present in autumn, some obstinate reactions can be triggered by ragweed, mould from fallen leaves, and even dust stirred up by seasonal tasks. Yes, fall allergies may be the cause of your coughing after doing garden work, waking up with congestion or experiencing an exacerbation of your asthma.

Identifying the Symptoms

Here are what to watch for:

• Persistent sneezing or sniffing, especially outdoors or after leaf-raking.
• Red, irritated eyes or sinus pressure that won’t quit.
• Sneaky asthma flare-ups or tightness when you least expect it.
• That nagging scratchy throat, even when a cold seems unlikely.
