## Caption

Spring allergies can make the season feel very different once the sneezing starts.

Spring allergies can show up in different ways. Some people notice itchy eyes first, while others experience congestion, a runny nose, sinus pressure, coughing or a scratchy throat. It can be difficult to tell whether these symptoms are tied to seasonal allergies, a cold or something that may need additional support.

Alexandra Wohlgemuth, CVS pharmacist explains how timing, fever, mucus color and recent exposure to pollen or other allergens can help shape that conversation. She also shares why symptoms can vary by person, location and season, especially as pollen counts, pets, dust, mold and outdoor activity change the types of allergens someone may be around.

The allergy aisle can bring its own questions. Saline rinses, nasal sprays, antihistamines, decongestants and eye drops are all discussed in the episode, with guidance on how different options may be used and why some products may require extra caution. Medication interactions, blood pressure concerns, pregnancy considerations and long-term product use can all be reasons to check in with a pharmacist or healthcare provider before choosing an over-the-counter option.

Sometimes spring allergy symptoms need more than at-home support. Severe or persistent symptoms, breathing concerns, asthma-related issues or symptoms that are not improving may be signs that a doctor or allergist should be part of the next step.

In Myth or Medicine, Dr. Jake Goodman and Alexandra talk through common allergy beliefs, including staying indoors during high pollen counts, starting medication before symptoms become severe, local honey, brain fog and fatigue, rotating allergy medications, showering after time outside and developing seasonal allergies as an adult.

Allergy season can make it hard to sort through different symptoms, treatments and everyday routines at the same time. A pharmacist can help clarify the options and offer guidance on what may fit your needs.
