Ragweed Allergy Causes and Symptoms

Ragweed is a common fall allergen that is particularly prevalent in North Texas from late August through November. During pollen season, ragweed plants release billions of pollen grains that are dispersed by the wind over long distances. Exposure to this pollen can cause symptoms ranging from mild to severe, with patients of all ages potentially at risk.

Common symptoms of a ragweed allergy include sneezing, a runny or stuffy nose, itchy throat, watery eyes and postnasal drip. With over 10 years of allergy treatment experience, Dr. Mireku is committed to helping patients manage seasonal allergies, reduce the risk of severe reactions, and enjoy a better quality of life overall.

Testing and Treatment for Ragweed Allergies

Before recommending the appropriate allergy treatment, we first properly identify the source of your allergy symptoms. Using proven allergy testing procedures, along with a review of symptoms and medical history, we can successfully diagnose a ragweed allergy. The next step is to provide preventive strategies and treatments that may include the following.

Allergy Management – Avoidance techniques like reducing exposure to pollen at peak times.
Medication – Antihistamines, nasal corticosteroids and decongestants to quickly relieve symptoms.
Immunotherapy – Allergy shots or sublingual drops to desensitize your immune system to ragweed pollen.

With a dependable allergy treatment plan, you can reduce symptoms and feel your best. When ragweed pollen season arrives, you’ll be able to continue your daily life without the stress of severe or uncomfortable reactions.

Common Questions About Ragweed Allergies

Is there a cure for a ragweed allergy?

Currently there is no cure for ragweed allergies, but symptoms can be effectively managed with allergy treatment and lifestyle changes. Immunotherapy (allergy shots) reduces a patient’s sensitivity to ragweed, helping prevent severe allergic reactions.

Do children outgrow ragweed allergies?

Some children will outgrow a ragweed allergy, while others will find that their symptoms continue into adulthood. Seasonal allergies are less likely to be outgrown than are food allergies; however, allergy management strategies can offer long-term relief.

Can a ragweed allergy cause asthma symptoms?

Ragweed allergies can trigger asthma symptoms such as wheezing, coughing, chest tightness and shortness of breath. Known as allergic asthma, this condition occurs when the same allergens that cause nasal symptoms also trigger inflammation in the airways.
