I have had allergies all my life from the time of birth until today. I can vouch for the information in this post. Not only do bad allergy seasons cause the usual irritating symptoms of congestion, itchy eyes, sneezing, fatigue, etc, those symptoms often make it hard to sleep which may have a negative effect on work or school performance, according to Dr Michele Pham, allergist and immunologist at UCSF Health.
Dr. Caroline Sokol, a doctor at Massachusetts General Hospital states that if allergies linger and remain untreated, they can also contribute to complications. "The longer you have uncontrolled inflammation, the more likely you are to have side effects", a quote from Dr Sokol. Sinus infections and ear infections are often the result.
If your allergy symptoms seem to be out of control, you should contact your doctor.
