"Spring and Allergy Season Have Sprung" - Shradha Agarwal, MD
As we hope for warmer weather over the next few weeks, we will also see a surge in allergy symptoms in children and adults due to pollen allergies. Allergic rhinitis is common, estimated to affect between 10 to 30 percent of the population worldwide, and the prevalence has been steadily increasing, writes Shradha Agarwal, MD, an assistant professor of clinical immunology at Mount Sinai Health System. For anyone suffering with these symptoms, the first step is to visit an allergist who can review your history and environmental exposures, and perform a physical examination.
