Spring has officially arrived and so has the pollen!

Pollen, as well as other allergens such as: molds, dust mites, and animal dander can trigger those pesky allergy symptoms that can slow our kids down.

They can also be very confusing, leaving us wondering, “is it allergies or just a cold?”

To help, here is a comparison between the most common allergy and cold symptoms, as well as some allergy tips that may help reduce exposure to these allergens and therefore reduce their symptoms.

Please note, if you have any other questions or want to discuss formally diagnosing your child with seasonal allergies, rule out a cold or sinus infection, or get allergy (antihistamine) medication dosages for your child, please contact the office at 910-762-2651.
