Denizli Private Egekent Hospital Ear, Nose and Throat Specialist Op. Dr. Emrah Yücel shared important warnings and recommendations about spring allergies and respiratory problems that arise during the spring months.
With the arrival of spring, the increase in pollen in nature causes allergic reactions that negatively affect the quality of life of hundreds of people. Op. Dr. Emrah Yücel emphasized that these problems can be greatly alleviated with the right treatment and preventive measures. ENT Specialist Op. Dr. Emrah Yücel said:
“During spring, the increase in pollen can trigger allergic diseases. In particular, allergic rhinitis, sinusitis, and asthma may worsen during this period. These conditions manifest with symptoms such as nasal congestion, sneezing, itchy eyes, and difficulty breathing. It is important to reduce exposure to allergens as much as possible during this time. Simple precautions such as keeping windows and doors closed, using air purifiers with pollen filters, and wearing masks when going outside can reduce the severity of symptoms. In addition, prescribed medical treatments and, if necessary, allergy vaccines can significantly improve patients’ quality of life.”
“Early diagnosis and appropriate treatment are crucial”
Highlighting the importance of early diagnosis and the right treatment method in spring allergy and respiratory problems, Op. Dr. Emrah Yücel noted:
“Early diagnosis and proper treatment prevent the progression of chronic respiratory and allergy issues. Especially patients with chronic sinusitis, asthma, or allergic rhinitis should consult an ENT specialist if their symptoms worsen during this period. If left untreated, these conditions may lead to serious health problems that can reduce quality of life. While enjoying the spring season, the most effective way to protect your health is through conscious living and seeking specialist support.”
