Spring Allergies Hit Hard in St. Louis
If you’re sniffling, sneezing, and rubbing your eyes, you’re not alone. St. Louis is ranked among the worst cities in the U.S. for seasonal allergies. High pollen counts from trees like oak, maple, and birch contribute to severe symptoms in spring.
At Link Primary Care, we help St. Louis residents take control of their health—including during the dreaded allergy season.
Common Allergy Symptoms
St. Louis allergy season brings a wave of familiar complaints:
- Runny or stuffy nose
- Itchy, watery eyes
- Sneezing fits
- Sinus pressure or headaches
- Coughing or throat irritation
For many, these symptoms mimic a cold but linger for weeks or even months. If you’re unsure, we can help distinguish allergies from other conditions like sinus infections.
When Does Allergy Season Peak in St. Louis?
In St. Louis, spring allergies typically start in March and peak in April and May. As the season shifts to summer, grass pollens take over. Fall ragweed adds another spike in symptoms.
