Runny nose, sneezing, itchy or watery eyes, and nasal congestion can all show up during seasonal allergy season.
For children with known seasonal allergies, reducing exposure to outdoor allergens may be one helpful part of managing symptoms.
A few practical things families can consider:
🌿 Pay attention to pollen levels: On higher-pollen days, keeping windows closed may help reduce the amount of outdoor allergens coming inside.
🚿 After outdoor play: Changing clothes, washing hands and face, and bathing regularly can help remove pollen that may collect on skin, hair, and clothing.
🏠 Think about the indoor environment: Regularly changing appropriate HVAC filters and keeping sleeping areas clean may help reduce exposure to environmental allergens.
🥦 Keep the basics in place: Balanced nutrition, adequate sleep, regular movement, and hydration all play important roles in a child’s overall health and well-being.
Seasonal allergy symptoms can look different from child to child, and not every runny nose or stuffy nose is caused by allergies.
If symptoms are persistent, worsening, interfering with sleep or daily activities, or you’re simply not sure what’s causing them, it may be worth discussing them with your child’s healthcare provider.
