Sneezing refers to a spontaneous, often uncontrollable, expulsion of air through the nose and mouth due to irritation in the nasal membranes. It can be a frequent symptom of Pyracantha pollen allergy, as the allergens entering the nostrils can trigger this reaction.
Nasal congestion, also known as a blocked or stuffy nose, happens when the nasal tissues and blood vessels become swollen with excess fluid, causing a 'stuffy' feeling. It's common in people with Pyracantha pollen allergy as the immune system responds to the pollen.
A runny nose (rhinorrhea) is a common allergy symptom that involves excess production of clear nasal mucus. This can be caused by inflammation and irritation in the nasal passages due to Pyracantha pollen exposure.
Exposure to Pyracantha pollen may cause itchy eyes. This happens when the eye comes into contact with allergens, and the immune system causes the release of histamine, a compound that causes itchiness and inflammation.
Coughing is a common symptom of Pyracantha pollen allergy. It's caused by irritation in the throat and airways, often due to postnasal drip (mucus dripping down the back of the throat) from a runny or congested nose.
Shortness of breath, caused by inflammation of the airways, can be a more serious symptom of Pyracantha pollen allergy. It may indicate a severe allergic reaction that restricts airways and hampers breathing, especially in those with pre-existing respiratory conditions.
Recognize your symptoms?

To determine if you have a Pyracantha pollen allergy, you need to recognize the common symptoms of pollen allergies and correlate them with exposure to Pyracantha. Here's a detailed process:
Recognize Common Allergy Symptoms
Assess Timing of Symptoms
Note Reactions in Proximity to Pyracantha
Consult an Allergist
Note: This method can provide indications, but it is not definitive. If you suspect you have a Pyracantha pollen allergy, consult with a healthcare professional for accurate diagnosis and treatment.

One of the simplest ways to avoid a Pyracantha pollen allergy is to limit your exposure to it. This could mean staying inside on days when the pollen count is high, or steering clear of areas where Pyracantha trees are abundant. Being aware of your surroundings and the seasons can greatly help to reduce your exposure.
If you have to work or be around Pyracantha plants, make sure to wear the right gear. A dust mask that filters pollen, along with gloves and long-sleeves, can help prevent contact with the allergens. If you're particularly sensitive, goggles can also help protect your eyes from irritation.
Pollen can easily find its way inside your home on your clothing, shoes, or pets. Regularly cleaning your home, washing your clothes, and grooming pets can help remove any pollen that has made its way indoors. An air purifier can also help to filter out pollen from the indoor air.
Antihistamines, nasal sprays, and other over-the-counter allergy medications can help control any symptoms. If you have severe allergies, you might also consider getting allergy shots. Make sure to always consult with a healthcare provider before starting any new medication.

Pyracantha, commonly known as Firethorn, is an outdoor plant and not typically known for its pollen production. However, as with many plants, it does produce pollen during its blooming period.

It’s a physician-prescribed, custom-compounded formula designed to target all your nasal symptoms at once — congestion, runny nose, post-nasal drip, sneezing, and more.

Formulated by doctors and pharmacologists and backed by clinical research, Quickie combines five powerful ingredients into one easy spray.

Typical prescription may include the following ingredients: Azelastine HCL 0.15%, Mometasone Furoate 0.05%, Oxymetazoline HCL 0.0125%, Ipratroprium 0.06%, Sodium Hyaluronate 0.04%.
Straight to the source. That’s Curex


Quickie is a compounded prescription medication, prepared by a licensed pharmacy. It is not reviewed or approved by the FDA. It is prepared based on your provider’s evaluation of your symptoms and needs. Individual results may vary.

Lauren S.
No longer having to go the doctor's office a few times a week for painful shots.
Tony P.
I have done allergy shots in the past but found it pretty inconvenient to go every week. I really like the ease as compared with physically going to the doctors office.

Robert S.
The treatment is much less expensive than a course of allergy shots at a doctor's office and eliminates numerous trips to the doctor's and all the waiting time.
Janie L.
My seasonal allergies were much less severe than years prior. Most importantly, the convenience of taking drops in my own home is unbeatable.

Most patients feel relief within 15 minutes. We have both short-term relief ingredients as well as longer-term relief to keep you feeling better, longer. Some say it’s like turning off their allergies.
Sneezing runny nose, nasal congestion, post-nasal drip, sinus pressure, itchy nose. Great for outdoor allergies, indoor dust, or when pollen spikes unexpectedly.
No, this formula uses a microdose of oxymetazoline, balanced with anti-inflammatory and moisturizing ingredients to reduce the risk of rebound congestion. Clinical studies over the last decade show that when oxymetazoline is combined with a corticosteroid, it can be used safely over the long term without causing rebound symptoms.
Quickie Spray combines up to five prescription-strength ingredients into a single, personalized formula — targeting multiple symptoms like congestion, post-nasal drip, and inflammation. OTC sprays typically address just one symptom and lack the synergy of a customized blend.
Some ingredients like azelastine may cause a slight taste, but many patients find it milder than traditional OTC sprays. Proper spray technique (head forward, not tilted back) helps minimize drip.We also offer an alternative formulation with olopatadine, which has a gentler taste profile and may be preferred by taste-sensitive patients.
Quickie is designed to replace most other allergy medications. But it is designed to compliment allergy immunotherapy for long-term relief. If you’re currently taking other antihistamines or nasal sprays, tell your Curex provider, so we can adjust your formula to avoid overlap or interactions.
No, Quickie is a personalized compounded prescription prepared by licensed U.S. pharmacies based on your doctor’s evaluation. Compounded medications are not FDA-approved as commercial products, but they are regulated under federal and state pharmacy laws.
Possible side effects include nasal dryness, mild irritation, or occasional nosebleeds. These are typically mild and manageable. Let your Curex provider know about any bothersome or serious effects, so we can fine-tune your prescription if needed.
Quickie is safe for daily use, especially during the first 3–6 months of allergy immunotherapy, when symptoms are still active. Your Curex provider may adjust your dose or frequency as your immune system builds tolerance.
Quickie is designed to be non-sedating, so you can use it before work, school, or exercise without feeling groggy or foggy. In rare cases where drowsiness is reported, let your Curex provider know—we can easily adjust the formula to better suit your needs.
Yes, Quickie Spray can be prescribed for children aged 6 and up, based on your provider’s clinical evaluation.
Follow the instructions from your Curex provider.Most patients are advised to use one spray per nostril, twice daily — morning and evening — for consistent relief.
