Build Your Mental Health Toolkit

Read MoreNon-stop runny, sneezy or stuffy nose? Itchy or teary eyes? Starting as early as February and persisting through October, seasonal allergies can cause a variety of annoying symptoms.
Some get a scratchy sore throat, persistent cough, or the nagging feeling of mucus running down the back of your throat – or all three.
As symptoms persist, allergy sufferers can also experience trouble sleeping, fatigue and headaches.
If you’re struggling with seasonal allergies, you’re not alone. These symptoms affect one in four adults and nearly one in five children. But there are things you can do to feel better.
Reach out to your provider for more questions about your allergies and for other treatment options.
While there is no cure for allergies, we can ease symptoms. See your primary care provider if you have a fever, cough that will not go away or wheezing. We can offer treatment as appropriate or refer you to a specialist, if necessary.
