Allergy Season Surge: Experts Offer Tips for Breathing Easier This Spring
São Paulo, Brazil – As spring arrives, bringing warmer temperatures and blooming plants, a surge in respiratory allergies is expected.Experts are advising individuals to proactively adopt daily habits to minimize discomfort and prevent severe reactions.
Nasal cleaning with saline solution is a key preventative measure,helping to eliminate irritating particles and maintain clear airways. Frequent vacuuming and cleaning of surfaces – notably curtains,carpets,and upholstery – are also recommended to reduce dust mite and dust accumulation,common allergy triggers.
For those with sensitive skin, hypoallergenic products, including fragrance-free sunscreens and age-appropriate repellents, are essential. Opting for natural fabrics like cotton allows skin to breathe and minimizes irritation. Hats and sunglasses offer additional protection, reducing reliance on chemical products.
While many allergy symptoms are manageable with these preventative steps, certain signs warrant immediate medical attention. Shortness of breath, wheezing, swelling of the lips, tongue, or eyelids, and skin lesions accompanied by fever could indicate a serious allergic reaction, such as anaphylaxis, requiring urgent care.
Even with mild symptoms, consistent follow-up with a specialist is crucial to identify individual triggers and prevent recurring attacks.
