Common Allergies in October
If you're one of the many Australians dealing with allergy symptoms, the good news is that you can quickly and easily get an e-script for your allergy medication through Our Sage Telehealth.
October is prime allergy season, particularly for people sensitive to airborne triggers like:
• Pollen: Spring brings a burst of flowering plants, which release large amounts of pollen. This can lead to sneezing, nasal congestion, and itchy eyes for those with hay fever (seasonal allergic rhinitis).
• Dust mites: With windows opening and spring cleaning in full effect, dust mites get stirred up. These tiny creatures thrive in warm, humid environments and can trigger asthma and nasal allergies.
• Grass and weed pollen: Grasses like ryegrass and weeds like ragweed are major offenders this time of year, especially in regional areas.
• Mould spores: The damp conditions from spring rain can lead to mould growth, which can also trigger allergies.
If you're experiencing symptoms like these, it’s important to have access to the right medication, whether that’s an antihistamine, nasal spray, or other prescription treatment to ease your symptoms.
