Q: Can seasonal allergies develop later in life?
A: Yes, it's possible to develop seasonal allergies at any age due to new environmental exposures or immune system changes. While they commonly begin in childhood or early adulthood, environmental changes or new exposures can trigger allergies later in life.
Q: Are there long-term effects of untreated allergies?
A:Yes, untreated allergies can lead to complications like chronic sinus infections, sleep disturbances, and worsening asthma. Consistently high exposure to allergens without treatment can also cause more severe allergic reactions over time.
Q: What’s the difference between allergies and a cold?
A: While both allergies and colds can cause similar symptoms like a runny nose and sneezing, there are key differences. Allergies do not cause fever and usually present with itchy eyes and nose, which are less common in colds. Cold symptoms often resolve within a week, while allergy symptoms can persist as long as exposure to the allergen continues.
