Tree pollen is a natural substance produced by trees during the reproductive process. It is a common cause of seasonal allergies, known as allergic rhinitis or hay fever. Symptoms include sneezing, nasal congestion, itching, and watery eyes.
Exposure to tree pollen can be reduced by avoiding outdoor activities during the pollination season or using air filters. In severe cases, antihistamines or immunotherapy may be recommended by a doctor.
Side effects of pollen exposure may include worsening of asthma or other respiratory conditions. It is important to consult a specialist if symptoms persist or worsen.
People allergic to tree pollen should be mindful of pollination periods and take preventive measures to minimize discomfort.
