Even as we begin to move out of cold and flu season, many kids will continue to have a runny nose, as they now move into their spring allergy season.
With the first day of spring, we may get warmer weather, spring showers, flowers, and more fun times outside for kids, but it also signals the start of spring allergy season. In addition to a runny nose and sneezing, your child with spring allergies may have watery, itchy eyes, dark circles under his eyes (allergic shiners), and an itchy nose.
Learning more about allergies can help parents get their kids some much needed relief.
