Seasonal hay fever ceases during the winter months. The symptoms of persisting hay fever are present all year.<br><br><strong>Typical symptoms of hay fever:<\/strong>\u00a0running nose, itching nose, snuffles, sneezing, itching of the eyes, red eyes, lacrimation, puffiness around the eyes, itchy feeling in the throat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The reasons of hay fever<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The predisposition for hay fever, as it is usual with allergies,\u00a0<strong>comes down from the family<\/strong>. If one of the parents have this allergy, the chance of the child developing it is about 30%.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It is not known exactly when the symptoms appear within an allergic individual. Nowadays,\u00a0<strong>lifestyle is the most commonly mentioned factor for developing allergies<\/strong>, it is often blamed on air pollution and chemical concentrations in the air.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Persistent hay fever is most\u00a0<strong>often caused by domestic dust, the hair or feather of pets<\/strong>. Seasonal hay fever is most often caused by pollens and blighted fungi.<strong>\u00a0During the spring, the most prevalent allergens are the pollens that get into the air from trees. In the summer, the focus shifts to grains and lawn-grass, while in the autumn, weeds cause many people allergies.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Cross-reactions<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The pollens that evoke hay fever can be in cross-reactions with certain types of food. That is, if someone is allergic to ragweed, they can develop symptoms after eating a banana or a melon. This phenomenon is called&nbsp;<strong>oral allergy syndrome<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Diagnosing hay fever<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Hay fever is easily identifiable due to its characteristic symptoms.<\/strong>\u00a0It is very important to identify the reason behind it. With this, a discussion with the patient is helpful, and the examination of the allergens is done via a blood test at our clinic.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The otolaryngologist specialist, by an examination, excludes other diseases with similar symptoms, such as adenoid, nasal septum deviation and tumors.<br><br><strong>If you suffer from one of the symptoms mentioned above, book an appointment with our otolaryngologist!<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Hay fever is a form of respiratory allergy.
