Pollen Allergy
When pollen allergy strikes, many people remain unaware of the trigger and often ignore early symptoms. Such negligence can worsen the condition over time. Individuals hypersensitive to pollen allergens typically develop symptoms when these airborne particles affect the mucous membranes of the nose and eyes.
At Aswini Allergy Centre, Hyderabad, pollen allergy can be accurately diagnosed using advanced pollen allergy testing. Based on symptoms and a detailed personal and family history, modified allergen skin prick tests are performed to identify the exact pollen allergen responsible for the reaction.
Under the leadership of Dr Vyakarnam Nageshwar, Allergist & Immunologist, Aswini Allergy Centre offers structured, root-cause-based pollen allergy treatment in Hyderabad for long-term relief.
Pollen Allergy Symptoms
The symptoms of pollen allergy vary depending on the type of allergen and the degree of immune hypersensitivity. However, the following are commonly observed:
- Nasal discharge
- Nasal congestion
- Redness of the eyes
- Itchy and watery eyes
- Repeated sneezing
- Skin rashes
- Itchy nose
Early consultation with a pollen allergy specialist in Hyderabad can prevent progression to chronic allergic rhinitis or asthma.
Types of Pollen Allergens
One of the most dangerous pollen allergens in India is Parthenium, a common aeroallergen known to cause a “pollen tsunami” when strong winds disperse it widely through the air.
Studies indicate that Parthenium accounts for nearly 60% of pollen allergy cases in India*, due to its widespread growth. Individuals sensitive to this allergen are particularly vulnerable after storms or heavy winds and are advised to avoid outdoor exposure immediately after such conditions.
Children are generally more susceptible to pollen allergies than adults.
Other common pollen allergens include:
- Flower pollen allergens
- Artemisia (wild herbs)
- Garden plant allergens
- Grass pollen allergens
- Lawsonia inermis (henna)
Pollen Allergy Treatment in Hyderabad
Once the offending pollen allergen is identified through modified allergen skin prick testing, patients can expect effective pollen allergy treatment at Aswini Allergy Centre, one of the best allergy hospitals in Hyderabad.
Most patients benefit from advanced pollen allergy immunotherapy, which helps retrain the immune system to reduce hypersensitivity and recurrence.
In severe cases—characterised by very high serum Immunoglobulin E (IgE) levels—immunotherapy alone may not be sufficient. In such situations, biological therapy may be advised for better immune modulation and sustained control.
