4 Common Symptoms of Tree Pollen Allergy

Sneezing and coughing

Tree pollen allergens irritate the nose and airways when you inhale them. This may trigger mild to severe sneezing or coughing [3] as your body reacts to the irritation and tries to expel the allergens. You may experience this symptom immediately after exposure to the allergen. Sometimes this reaction is delayed.

Ensure you observe basic hygiene. Do not cough or sneeze into your hands unless you are about to wash them. Avoid sneezing and coughing at people too. Sneeze into your elbow or a handkerchief, so you do not spray droplets on people or surfaces.

Antiallergy medications can help reduce your symptoms. Make sure to carry one around with you during this season. Take other precautions to minimize your exposure to pollen within your home and when you go out.
