What Is Hay Fever in 2025 – New Insights into Symptoms & Seasonality
Symptoms
Hay Fever (allergic rhinitis) is a seasonal allergy caused by an overreaction of the body immune system. It is mostly manifested by symptoms such as nasal congestion, runny nose, sneezing, itchy eyes and throat irritation after contact with allergens such as pollen, dust mites or animal dander. Here are the details:
- Sneezing: The common symptom of hay fever is paroxysmal sneezing, which can occur more than ten times in a row.
- Itchy eyes: After pollen invades the eyes, people may experience itchy eyes, tearing, and conjunctival congestion.
- Coughing: Hay fever may cause respiratory discomfort, including symptoms such as itchy throat and coughing. Some people may also experience chest tightness, shortness of breath and other discomforts.
- Papules: Erythema and papules may appear on exposed parts such as the face and neck, accompanied by obvious itching, which is mainly related to the inflammatory response caused by pollen.
- Low fever: Some people with hay fever may experience low fever, accompanied by headache, fatigue, lack of appetite and other discomforts.
Seasonality
According to the time of onset, it can be divided into:
Seasonal: mostly caused by pollen, with a high incidence in Spring or Autumn;
Perennial: commonly related to indoor allergens (such as dust mites, pet dander), symptoms last all year.
Why Hay Fever Still Affects Many in 2025 – Lifestyle, Environment & Diet Links
- Daily lifestyle factors
Sitting indoor for a long term and lack of exercise: People generally lack of outdoor exercise, which leads to decreased immunity and makes them more likely to overreact to allergens such as pollen.
Excessive cleaning: The living environment is too clean, which reduces to contact with microorganisms, leading to an imbalance in the immune system and making allergies more likely to occur.
Stress and lack of sleeping: Long-term stress and staying up late will weaken the immune regulation function and aggravate allergic symptoms.
- Environmental factors
Climate change extends the pollen season: Global warming advances and prolongs the flowering period of plants.
Air pollution exacerbates allergies: PM2.5 and other pollutants destroy the structure of pollen, enhance its allergenicity, and are more likely to cause inflammation when combined with pollen.
Improper urban greening: A lot of wind-pollinated plants (such as cypress and poplar) are planted, and the pollen is easily spread by the wind, increasing the risk of allergies.
- Dietary factors
Nutritional imbalance: Lack of antioxidants such as vitamin C and E weakens immune defense.
Cross-reaction to allergic foods: Some people who are allergic to pollen may have cross-allergies to foods such as apples and nuts, aggravating symptoms.
Insufficient water intake and dry mucous membranes: Lack of water can cause the protection function of the respiratory mucosa to decline, making it more susceptible to pollen irritation.

🌼 How to judge the pollen concentration?
The pollen concentration can be judged by observing the local environment and weather, referring to professional forecasts, and combining your own symptoms. The specific methods are as follows:
1. 📊 Pay attention to professional pollen concentration forecasts
This is the most direct and accurate method. Meteorological departments, control centers or professional health platforms (such as weather apps and allergy management software) in many regions will issue daily pollen concentration forecasts, which are usually divided into four levels:
- Low: sensitive people may have no obvious symptoms;
- Medium: some people have mild nasal itching and sneezing;
- High: most people have obvious symptoms and need to reduce outdoor exposure;
- Very high: almost all allergic people will have severe symptoms and should try to avoid going out.
The main allergenic pollen types (such as tree pollen and weed pollen) are marked in these forecasts.
2. 🌦️ Judging by weather and time
The spread and activity of pollen are closely related to meteorological conditions, which can be used as auxiliary judgment basis:
- Wind force: strong wind (level 3 or above) will accelerate the spread of pollen and increase the concentration; in breeze or windless weather, pollen is easy to settle and the concentration is low.
- Humidity: On rainy days or high air humidity (such as after rain), pollen will be adhered and settled by rainwater, and the concentration will be significantly reduced; dry weather (humidity <50%) is conducive to pollen dispersion and increased concentration.
- Time: Most pollen is highly active in the early morning (5-10 o’clock) and evening (such as tree pollen is mostly released in the early morning, and weed pollen may be more active in the evening); when the afternoon sun is strong and the temperature is high, the activity of some pollen will decrease and the concentration will be relatively low.
- Temperature: The temperature suitable for pollen spread is mostly 15-25℃, and extreme high or low temperatures will inhibit pollen release and reduce concentration.
3. 🌳 Observe the environment and plant status
- Plant flowering period: If outdoor trees are in bloom (such as poplar catkins, willow catkins, and cherry blossoms in spring), weeds are overgrown (such as wormwood and ragweed in autumn), and similar plants are densely distributed around, it means that the pollen concentration may be high during this period.
- Pollen “visible signals”: If there are a lot of white flocs (poplar catkins, willow catkins) floating in the air, fine particles attached to clothes after drying, or fine powder can be seen in the nose and skin after staying outdoors, it indicates that the pollen concentration is high.
How Long Does it Usually Take for Hay Fever Symptoms to Disappear?
The allergic symptoms caused by pollen depend on the severity of the people’s own physical condition. It usually takes 3-5 days for people to leave the pollen environment, but the specific time will still vary due to the severity of the allergy, ways to relieve, personal constitution, etc. If you are always in a pollen environment, the hay fever symptoms may persist and will not disappear. You need to stay away from pollen for the symptoms to gradually disappear.
How to reduce the risk of hay fever?
- (1) Avoid allergens
Reduce outdoor activities (especially during the peak pollen seasons).
Use air purifiers, close windows, and wear masks. - (2) Medicine relief
Antihistamines: relieve sneezing and nasal itching.
Nasal hormones: relieve nasal congestion and inflammation. - (3) Immunotherapy
Reduce allergic reactions through long-term low-dose exposure to allergens. - (4) Auxiliary ways
Nose washing with saline and steam inhalation relieve symptoms.
Supplement vitamin D and Omega-3 (may regulate immune response).
Is hay fever related to heredity?
Hay fever is hereditary to a certain extent, and some genes that cause allergies may be inherited from parents. The occurrence of hay fever is the result of the combined effects of genetic and environmental factors. If there is someone with hay fever in the family, the risk of children suffering from it will increase accordingly, but not everyone will inherit it.
How to Know You Have Hay Fever?
Correlation between onset time and environment
The onset of hay fever has obvious seasonality and environmental dependence, which is the key to distinguish it from the common cold and perennial rhinitis:
- Seasonality: It is common in Spring (March-May, tree pollen such as poplar, willow, cypress) and Autumn (August-October, weed pollen such as Artemisia and ragweed) in northern regions; the southern region may have a longer pollen season or different time due to the warm climate.
- Environmental triggers: Symptoms are aggravated outdoors (such as parks, grasslands, flowers), in windy weather (pollen is easy to spread), and on sunny days (pollen is highly active); symptoms are alleviated after entering the room (closing doors and windows, using air purifiers).
- Difference from colds: Common colds are often accompanied by fever and body aches, and the nasal discharge is clear and thin at the beginning and then becomes sticky and lasts for 1-2 weeks; while pollinosis has no fever, and the duration of symptoms is consistent with the pollen season (may be weeks to months).
Medical examinations to assist in diagnosis
If the symptoms are typical and highly related to the pollen season, the doctor may further confirm through the following examinations:
- Skin prick test: Make an extract of common pollen allergens (such as birch or wormwood pollen), drop it on the skin and prick it lightly, and observe for 15-20 minutes. If redness, swelling, or wheals occur, it indicates allergy to the pollen.
- Blood allergen test: Test the level of specific antibodies against pollen in the body by drawing blood, and an elevated value supports the diagnosis of allergies.
- Nasal provocation test (less commonly used): Put the pollen extract directly into contact with the nasal cavity to observe whether it induces nasal symptoms, which is used to confirm difficult cases.

Which people need to pay special attention to hay fever?
- Children and adolescents
Children’s immune systems are not fully mature yet, and they are more likely to have allergic reactions after exposure to pollen. The symptoms may be mistaken for “recurrent colds” and delay intervention.
Long-term hay fever may affect children’s quality of daily life: frequent nasal congestion leads to snoring and hypoxia during sleep, affecting growth and development; nasal itching and eye itching distract attention and interfere with learning; if not controlled in time, it may gradually develop into asthma.
Children have limited expressive ability and may only express discomfort through behaviors such as rubbing their noses, rubbing their eyes, and sneezing frequently. Parents need to observe carefully (such as whether these actions occur frequently during the pollen season).
- Elderly people
Elderly people often have underlying diseases, and hay fever symptoms may aggravate the underlying diseases: for example, nasal congestion leads to difficulty breathing and increases the burden on the heart; frequent coughing may induce heart failure.
The old have poor tolerance to medicine. If they use anti-allergic medicine on their own, they may experience side effects such as drowsiness, dry mouth, and difficulty urinating, which affect their safety (such as increased risk of falls).
Some elderly people may ignore hay fever because of “weakness due to age”, which leads to long-term symptoms and reduced quality of daily life.
- Outdoor workers or those who engage in high-frequency outdoor activities
People with occupational exposure: such as gardeners, farmers, construction workers, etc., who are exposed to high concentrations of pollen outdoors for a long time, often have more severe symptoms and last longer, and may have problems such as chronic nasal congestion and loss of smell.
Outdoor enthusiasts: such as mountaineering, cycling, and camping enthusiasts, who are frequently exposed to pollen environments during pollen active seasons (such as spring outings and autumn outings), are prone to induce acute symptoms, and even affect activity safety due to severe nasal and eye discomfort (such as tears affecting vision when cycling).
- Pregnant women
The immune system of pregnant women changes during pregnancy, and they may have allergic reactions to pollen that they are not allergic to, or aggravate the original symptoms of pollinosis.
Frequent sneezing and nasal congestion caused by hay fever may affect the rest of pregnant women, and long-term lack of sleep is not conducive to fetal development.
Be cautious when taking medicine during pregnancy. If severe symptoms require treatment, relatively safe medicine must be selected under the guidance of the professionals.
- People with chronic respiratory symptoms
In addition to asthma, the people with chronic bronchitis, emphysema, etc. may experience coughing and sputum exacerbation due to increased airway sensitivity after exposure to pollen, and even dyspnea, which increases the frequency of acute attacks.
The best outdoor environment for running for hay fever people
When running outdoors, hay fever people can effectively reduce pollen exposure and reduce the risk of symptom onset by choosing a suitable environment.
The ideal outdoor environment needs to take into account the two key elements of “low pollen concentration” and “clean air circulation”. For specific reference, please refer to the following conditions:
Try to choose areas where urban greening is dominated by evergreen trees and pollen production is low (such as parks dominated by coniferous trees such as pine and cypress, and avoid being close to broad-leaved trees such as willow, poplar, wormwood, ragweed, or grass and flowers with dense weeds).
The amount of pollen released in this type of environment is relatively small; at the same time, give priority to places with good ventilation but low wind (such as sheltered areas between buildings) to avoid large-scale spread of pollen with airflow in windy weather; if there is a place nearby that is artificially sprayed with moisture (such as a plastic track that is regularly sprinkled with water), the moist air can help settle pollen particles and reduce the amount of inhalation.
In addition, avoid the early morning and evening when pollen is highly active, choose to run in the afternoon when the pollen concentration is low, and wear a protective mask to further reduce allergy discomfort.

Does Kamagra Oral Jelly Conflict with Hay Fever?
Kamagra oral jelly (the main ingredient is sildenafil, used to enhance men’s health) has no direct conflict with hay fever itself, but the following potential effects related to hay fever should be noted to ensure the safety of medication:
Interaction with anti-allergic medicine:
Hay fever people often use antihistamines to relieve symptoms. There is currently no clear expression that such medicine have serious conflicts with sildenafil. However, some antihistamines may have a slight sedative effect. If used in combination with sildenafil, sensitive people should pay attention to whether there are superimposed reactions such as dizziness and fatigue, especially when used for the first time.
Influence of basic health conditions:
Sildenafil may affect blood pressure, and hay fever may indirectly affect breathing or sleep if accompanied by severe nasal congestion.
Individual allergy risk:
If you are allergic to the excipients (such as certain flavoring agents, preservatives) or sildenafil in Kamagra oral jelly, you should avoid using it regardless of whether you have hay fever; if you are only allergic to pollen and have no history of allergies to medicine ingredients, it is usually not a contraindication to use, but you still need to observe whether there are abnormal reactions when using it for the first time.
Conclusion
For hay fever, honey-related products such as royal honey can be consumed in moderation in daily diet if you are not allergic to honey.
As a natural food, although the ingredients of honey are related to pollen, after processing and other links, there are differences between them and the pollen particles that cause allergies, and they usually do not directly induce pollen allergy symptoms.
However, everyone’s allergic condition is different. If it is your first attempt to takw, it is recommended to take a small amount first and observe your own reaction to ensure that there is no discomfort before taking it normally.
At the same time, you still need to pay attention to protection during the peak pollen season to reduce allergy troubles.
