Runny or Stuffy Nose
This is a common symptom of beech tree pollen allergy. It happens when the body's immune system overreacts to the pollen, causing a release of histamines that leads to inflammation and swelling in the nasal passages, causing them to produce excessive amounts of mucus.
Watery, Red or Swollen Eyes
Pollen from beech trees can cause allergic conjunctivitis, an eye inflammation that results in red, watery, itchy and swollen eyes. This can also be accompanied by sensitivity to light.
Sneezing
Exposure to beech pollen can result in frequent, sudden bouts of sneezing as your body tries to expel the allergen from your nose and throat.
Itchy Throat or Ears
The allergic reaction to beech pollen can cause inflammation and irritation in the throat or ears, causing a persistent itchiness in these areas. This may be accompanied by a dry cough or slight hoarseness.
Difficulty Breathing or Shortness of Breath
In more severe cases, allergic reactions to beech pollen can cause difficulty breathing or shortness of breath. This is due to inflammation in the airways, which can constrict and hinder the flow of air.
Skin Rash
Some people may develop a skin rash, known as allergic contact dermatitis, when they come into contact with beech pollen. This rash can appear as red, itchy, swollen or scaly skin.
