About Seasonal Allergy in New Delhi
Seasonal allergy, commonly known as hay fever or allergic rhinitis, is an immune system overreaction to airborne allergens such as pollen, dust, or mould spores that are more prevalent during specific times of the year. When a sensitised person inhales these particles, the immune system mistakenly identifies them as harmful and releases histamine and other chemicals that cause inflammation in the nasal passages and eyes. In India, seasonal allergies often peak during spring flowering periods and post-monsoon mould growth, though pollution can worsen symptoms year-round. While not life-threatening, the condition can significantly affect quality of life, sleep, and daily productivity when poorly controlled. Identifying and avoiding specific triggers, combined with medication, usually provides effective symptom relief.
