Why do you not get allergies around winter, but in spring you do?

It depends on what you are allergic to. Sometimes my allergies are worse in the winter because I am allergic to dust mites. I am also allergice to some pollens but not as badly allergic to them...so therefore my allergies in the winter tend to be worse.\nYou have some sort of allergy to something that is outside in the spring...whether its pollen,grasses etc. Whatever it is it is bugging you.\nGo to the doctor

The type of pollen out there depends on where you live ans what the season is. Plants and trees bllom at different times of the year mostly in summer and spring, but there is pollen present all year but it really depneds on what is blloming.

When Spring is in the air

You need to check your filter in the air intake of your air system, if it hasn't been changed recently you need to change it there only a couple of bucks their are more expensive ones. Take out the one you have take it with you to the hardwares store. You might have allergies. They are pretty common during the spring time. Don't sleep with your windows open. Pollen could play a big part in your swelling and irritation if you live in an area that has budding trees or flowers. Use eye drops that are hydrating drops. Put a humidifier in your room if the air is dry. Change your pillow cases at least a couple times a week and air out your pillows. If symptoms persist I would recommend that you see a doctor. You could have a sinus infection and may need antibiotics.

Count me in. \n\nI took allergy shots for three years and it helped a lot. Now I have mild cases in Spring and very rare cases in the rest of the year. \n\nWhy don't you go to the Immunology Dept. of an University Hospital; they may help with new treatments- at least to minimize the problem.

Yes I have seasonal allergies. My throat gets swollen, i recommend taking benedryl or claritin. a doctor will just make you pay more for a drug that works just as good.

Spring is one of the four seasons of temperate zones, the transition from winter into summer. Astronomically, some Western countries consider spring to begin with the spring equinox (around March 20 in the Northern Hemisphere, and September 23 in the Southern Hemisphere), and ends with the summer solstice (around June 21 in the Northern Hemisphere and December 21 in the Southern Hemisphere). Such conventions are by no means universal, however. In Chinese astronomy, for example, the vernal equinox instead marks the middle of spring, which begins around the time of Lichun (around February 4). In the Irish Calendar it is counted as the whole months of February, March and April. In meteorology, it is (also by convention) instead counted as the whole months of March, April, and May in the Northern Hemisphere and September, October, and November in the Southern Hemisphere.\n\nAs in summer, the axial tilt of the Earth is toward the Sun, and daylight hours are greater than or equal to 12 hours and rapidly increasing (especially in higher latitudes). The hemisphere begins to warm significantly, causing new plant growth to spring forth, giving the season its name (see Effect of sun angle on climate). Snow (if any) begins to melt, and rivers and streams swell with runoff and spring rains. Most flowering plants bloom this time of year, in a long succession beginning even when snow is still on the ground, and continuing into early summer. In normally snowless areas, "spring" may begin as early as February during warmer years, with subtropical areas having very subtle differences, and tropical ones none at all. Subarctic areas may not see "spring" at all until May or even June, or December in the outer Antarctic.\n\nSevere weather most often occurs during the spring, when warm air begins to invade from lower latitudes while cold air is still pushing from the polar regions. Flooding is also most common in and near mountainous areas during this time of year due to snowmelt, many times accelerated by warm rains. In the United States, Tornado Alley is most active by far this time of year, especially since the Rocky Mountains prevent the surging hot and cold airmasses from spreading westward and instead force them directly at each other. Besides tornados, supercell thunderstorms can also produce dangerously large hail and very high winds, for which a severe thunderstorm warning or even tornado warning is usually issued. Often, spring storms trigger dozens of warnings, one right after the other, often simultaneously along a line hundreds of miles or kilometers long. Even more so than winter, the jet streams play an important role in severe weather in the springtime.\n\nThe hurricane season officially begins in late spring, on May 15 in the northeastern Pacific, and June 1 in the northern Atlantic. Before these dates, hurricanes are almost unheard of and even tropical storms are rare, one of the earliest ever being Tropical Storm Ana in mid-April 2003. Even in June, hurricanes are uncommon.\n\nSpringtime is seen as a time of growth, renewal, of new life (both plant and animal) being born, and of the cycle of life once again starting. It is also used more generally as the start of better times, as in Prague Spring.

possibly could be caused by allergies.

i like spring best cause in the winter it's too cold, in fall i have to rake leaves and bag them, and in the summer it's too hot. in spring, the air smells fresh after rain, and the grass turns green, and the trees grow leaves.

Try a allergy pill, an over the counter one that is excellent is DRIXORAL.  This time of year is really bad on allergy sufferers.

I assume you're in the south? Cause winter should be over pretty much everywhere else except maybe the more remote regions of Canada, Alaska, and far northern Europe.\n\nPersonally, I don't like winter or summer. Winter is too cold and wet and grey, summer is too hot and humid and bright. Between spring and fall, I prefer fall because I'm allergic to pollen and I like windy weather and storms.

Actually, weather doesn't work like that.  Besides, there's still time - winter doesn't officially end until March 21st.  I bet you that before that time, and maybe even after, we will get a boatload of snow!  There's always a Nor'Easter to come here in New England... I remember from living in Michigan, that there was always a snowstorm around the bend before spring finally ushered in the warm winds...   but you're right.  This year is unusually mild.  But then again we've had some really cold days, and on those days we just didn't have any precipitation other than on the warmer days - (we DID have quite a bit of rain, ya know).  Maybe we got lucky.  And maybe next year we'll have the precipitation on the really cold days and have to drive through all that crap all the time!  Is it global warming?  Nah...  it's still pretty darn cold out!

because its cold - and you body have to work to keep it's temperature up - there for your body is more tired at the end of the day... and as a result its more apt to getting a cold. It is probably no different than any other virus that you may get in the summer... but they just call it 'allergies' or a 'cold' ... and when it is winter they call it the flu... i mean, think about it... how do they diagnose the flu... you walk in and say im sick, i feel like crap... here's whats wrong with me... they say... you have a cold - in the summer time... and they would say 'you have the flu' in the winter time... they prescribe the same stuff for them... since it's a virus you can't treat them.. they aren't curable... but you can treat the symptoms... which helps you feel a hell of a lot better at the end of the day!

Is it actually an infection is the question.  It could possibly be allergies that are causing you to have this problem.  The fall and spring of the year reek havoc on anyone that has allergies.  Try an anihistamine such as benadryl and see if that will give you any relief.

My daughter has that problem too. I've discovered that's it's more than likely allergies. There are plenty of allergy pills over the counter you can buy. I would also recommend some Vaseline, don't use anything that is "cooling."\nThe less likely reason would be that you are too cold.\nGive the allergy pills a try. If you choose Benadryl, only take it at night because it will make you sleepy. \nWhen in doubt, call your physician.
