Seasonal allergies may start in spring
During late April and May, your child may experience hay fever, an allergic reaction of the nose (and sinuses) to pollen or another substance in the air. From late May to mid-July, hay fever may be caused by the pollen from grass. The condition may return every year during pollen season. Learn more
