It’s the peak of allergy season and symptoms may arise even if you have never suffered from allergies before.
There might be changes in your environment that you haven’t considered. Many things can affect allergies, such as moving to a new home surrounded by new trees, or maybe your neighbor planted new flowers or plants that are affecting you differently and causing you to flare up.
Whether you are an allergy patient or never diagnosed before, if you are showing allergy symptoms it is important NOT to self-medicate or take any over-the-counter medication without previously discussing it with an allergist.
Self-medicating can pose you at risk of having an unexpected reaction to an ingredient you were not aware of or other serious secondary side effects and can cause more harm than good.
For asthma patients consistency in treatments is highly recommended and interruption of care may pose similar risks: if you suffer from asthma and don’t keep it under control, you may be at higher risk of developing complications from COVID-19 and other respiratory viruses.
Either way, always consult the allergist first.
