A Potential Long-term Solution for Seasonal Allergies in Winter

In winter, we observe a sharp rise in cases of allergic rhinitis, allergic conjunctivitis, bronchial asthma flareups and eczema. These are largely triggered by sudden shifts in temperature and humidity. Wide temperature fluctuations, low atmospheric pressure, elevated pollen counts and persistent air pollution makes people vulnerable.

Sometimes the weather itself behaves like an allergen. Even otherwise healthy individuals experience discomfort as winter approaches. The most common symptoms we encounter include runny or blocked nose, itching or burning in the eyes and nose, watering of the eyes, itching in the ear and throat, shortness of breath, persistent cough and eczema flareups due to dry air or sudden temperature changes.
