What are Seasonal Allergies?

Seasonal allergies, also known as hay fever or allergic rhinitis, are a common concern for kids. These allergies occur when the immune system overreacts to airborne allergens like pollen from trees, grasses, and weeds. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), nearly 7% of children in the United States experience seasonal allergies each year. The timing and severity of symptoms often depend on pollen levels in a given area. Children with a family history of allergies or asthma are at a higher risk of developing seasonal allergies.

Symptoms of Seasonal Allergies

If your child has seasonal allergies, you may notice symptoms such as:

Sneezing
Runny or stuffy nose
Itchy or watery eyes
Irritated throat

Some children also experience:

Fatigue
Coughing
Worsening asthma symptoms

Impacts of Seasonal Allergies in Kids

Allergy symptoms can disrupt daily life, making it harder for kids to concentrate in school, sleep well at night, and enjoy outdoor activities. Research published in Pediatrics has shown that children with allergic rhinitis may struggle with focus and academic performance due to sleep disturbances and daytime drowsiness. Seasonal allergies can impact not only a child’s physical health but also their emotional well-being and quality of life. Constant symptoms may lead to frustration, irritability, and decreased participation in sports or outdoor play.
