Introduction
Seasonal allergic rhinitis usually lasts about three months. It is primarily caused by an allergic reaction to certain plants or pollen present during a specific season, leading to symptoms such as sneezing, nasal itching, runny nose, and tearing eyes. The condition mostly occurs in spring or summer. As the symptoms tend to gradually improve when the season changes—and since seasons typically change every three months—the illness generally persists for about three months.

Seasonal allergic rhinitis is a condition primarily triggered by an allergy to certain plants or pollen present during specific seasons. It commonly causes symptoms such as sneezing, nasal itching, runny nose, and watery eyes. Most patients develop symptoms in spring or summer, and the condition typically improves gradually when the season changes. Since seasons generally change every three months, seasonal allergic rhinitis tends to persist for approximately three months.
It is recommended to wear a mask when going outdoors during spring or summer, reduce outdoor activities, and minimize exposure to allergens to prevent recurrent symptoms. Additionally, individuals can visit a hospital for allergen testing to identify the specific allergens causing their reactions.
