Runny or Blocked Nose
A common symptom of Mugwort pollen allergy is a runny or blocked nose, which occurs when the body is producing mucus to trap and remove the allergen. This can cause an uncomfortable blocked feeling or lead to a persistently runny nose.
Sneezing
Sneezing is another typical symptom as the body attempts to expel the allergen. Individuals with a Mugwort pollen allergy may experience frequent sneezing episodes.
Itchy or Watery Eyes
Exposure to Mugwort pollen can cause the eyes to become itchy or watery. This is a result of the body's reaction to the allergen, irritating the membranes of the eyes.
Wheezing or Difficulty in Breathing
This occurs when the allergen enters the lungs and the body responds by inflaming the airways, making it difficult to breathe & may lead to wheezing. This symptom may be particularly prominent in people with underlying respiratory conditions such as asthma.
Skin Rashes
Some people may experience skin rashes or hives as part of their allergic response. These are raised, red patches of skin that can be very itchy and uncomfortable.
Cough
A persistent cough may develop as your body tries to clear the allergen from your lungs and throat. This can be dry or accompanied by mucus.
