Tree Pollen Allergy

Tree pollen allergy occurs when the immune system overreacts to tiny particles released by trees during their pollination season, typically in spring. Common trees that produce allergenic pollen include oak, cedar, and birch. When inhaled, this pollen can trigger symptoms such as sneezing, runny or stuffy nose, itchy eyes, and coughing. People with this allergy may experience worsened symptoms during windy days when pollen is more easily dispersed. Managing tree pollen allergies often involves avoiding outdoor activities during peak times and using medications like antihistamines to relieve symptoms.
