San Angelo Doctors Warn: Spring Allergies Are Peaking-Here’s How to Fight Back

Doctors in San Angelo are reminding residents that spring allergy season is in full swing, with oak pollen being one of the biggest triggers. Dr. Chris Christodoulou with Shannon Medical Center says allergy symptoms can mimic a cold, including sneezing, congestion, and sinus pressure. He says fever and body aches are more likely signs of an infection. Doctors recommend starting allergy treatments early, including daily nasal rinses, antihistamines, and nasal sprays. Keeping indoor humidity low and limiting pollen exposure can also help. For ongoing symptoms, allergy testing may help identify specific triggers.
