What Caused My Seasonal Allergies to Improve?
Allergy symptoms can change over time. They may sometimes be different with each allergy season. You can have a decrease or an increase in symptoms.
You have noticed a decrease in allergy symptoms. There are several explanations to consider in your case.
- The immune system is constantly changing as it adapts to allergens. This may lead to reduced allergy symptoms.
- The severity of allergies can decrease with age. Approximately, 20% of children outgrow their allergies over time.
- Stress, obesity, and hormonal changes can affect the severity of allergies.
- Changes in the environment can impact symptoms. This can include relocating to areas with less pollen exposure.
This could help explain a change in allergy symptoms.
