Sneezing is a common symptom of goldenrod pollen allergy. The body forcefully expels air through the nose and mouth in an attempt to clear out irritants, which in this case is goldenrod pollen.
Nasal congestion is characterized by a blocked or stuffy nose, which can lead to difficulty breathing. This happens when the membranes lining the nose become swollen from inflamed blood vessels as a result of exposure to goldenrod pollen.
Runny nose is a condition where there's an excessive discharge of mucus from the nose. This is often a body's defense mechanism to flush out irritants, like goldenrod pollen, in the nasal passage.
Exposure to goldenrod pollen can cause itchiness or redness in the eyes, a condition known as allergic conjunctivitis. In this reaction, the eyes may also release clear tears excessively.
Wheezing, or high-pitched whistling sound when you breathe, indicates that something is obstructing the flow of air in your lungs. Goldenrod pollen may cause an allergic reaction that leads to inflammation and narrowing of the airways, resulting in difficulty breathing.
An itchy throat or ears are certain allergic reactions to goldenrod pollen. It happens when the body's immune system overreacts to substances it considers harmful, in this case the goldenrod pollen, causing an itching sensation in the throat or ears.

Identifying Goldenrod Pollen Allergy Symptoms
Recognize the Timing of Symptoms
Goldenrod plants usually produce pollen from July to October. If you find your symptoms peaking during this time, it could indicate a Goldenrod pollen allergy.
Assess Your Surroundings
Goldenrod plants thrive particularly under direct sunlight along roadsides, in meadows, pastures, and abandoned fields. If you live or have recently traveled to such areas, you might have been exposed to Goldenrod pollen.
Consult an Allergist
Only an allergist can diagnose you with a specific pollen allergy like Goldenrod pollen allergy. If you suspect that you have this allergy based on symptoms, timing, and your surroundings, consult an allergist immediately.
Allergy Testing
Allergy testing methods like skin tests and blood tests can help confirm whether you have an allergy to Goldenrod pollen. A positive skin test for Goldenrod pollen supports the diagnosis of this allergy.

Am I eligible?
During the goldenrod blooming period in the late summer and fall, try to limit your outdoor activities. Goldenrod pollen is typically released during the day, so reschedule your outdoor activities to early morning or after sunset, when the pollen count is lower.
Whenever necessary, you should use sunglasses, gloves, and hats when going out. These measures will prevent pollen from attaching to your hair, eyes, and skin. When entering indoors, immediately change your clothes and take a shower to wash off any pollen that may have clung on to your body.
Consider investing in a home air purifier with a HEPA filter and regularly check and keep clean the filter of your central air conditioning system. Close windows and use air conditioning in both your house and car to reduce indoor pollen level. Clean floors and surfaces with a vacuum cleaner that has a HEPA filter.
If you constantly feel allergy symptoms during the goldenrod blooming period, it is wise to seek advice from a healthcare professional early. They may propose over-the-counter non-sedating antihistamines or other treatments such as allergy shots to control and reduce your symptoms.
