Posted at 21:19h in Allergies, Asthma by
As the winter season lingers in North Texas, so do the effects of mountain cedar, a notorious trigger for allergies in certain regions. Sneezing, coughing, and itchy eyes are unpleasant symptoms many people experience during this time. During the winter, the trees release large amounts of pollen into the air, leading to allergic reactions in susceptible individuals.
Cedar Allergy Season

Cedar allergy season starts in late November, goes through February, and typically peaks in mid-January.

Texas Cedar PolleN

Up to 20% of Texans suffer from cedar pollen allergies.

AMOUNTS OF POLLEN

The plants produce enormous amounts of pollen, which can make people who are allergic feel miserable.

When exposed to mountain cedar pollen, individuals with allergies may experience a variety of symptoms, including:
  • Sneezing
  • Runny or stuffy nose
  • Itchy and watery eyes
  • Nasal congestion
  • Scratchy throat
  • Coughing
  • Fatigue
Some over-the-counter antihistamines, nasal corticosteroids, and decongestants can temporarily relieve symptoms. For individuals with severe or persistent allergies, allergen immunotherapy (allergy shots) or sublingual immunotherapy (under-the-tongue tablets or drops) can help desensitize the body to mountain cedar pollen over time, reducing the severity of allergic reactions. If you don’t get the relief you need from over-the-counter remedies, including nasal steroids, eye drops, antihistamines, or salt-water rinses for the nose, then it’s time to see Dr. Jane Lee at Texas Allergy Center!
Mountain cedar allergies can be an unpleasant and disruptive experience for many individuals during the North Texas winter season. By understanding the causes, recognizing the symptoms, and employing effective management strategies, you can minimize the impact of mountain cedar allergies on your daily life.
