Spring is finally on its way! While we are looking forward to days without snowy forecasts and frigid temps, not all of us are looking forward to the sniffles and sinus problems that often accompany the change in seasons.

Dr. William Horton, one of our resident allergy experts, was recently a guest on WATE 6 On Your Side to discuss the onset of springtime allergies.

A much higher pollen count is expected this year, which means it’s time to get proactive!

“Most studies show that if you begin the medication before the allergy season starts, before the pollen actually hits, you’re more likely to have an improved allergy season than if you wait,” says Dr. Horton.

About Dr. Horton

Dr. Horton has a particular interest in the field of rhinology, a sub specialty that deals with diseases of the sinuses including allergy and surgery. Board certified by the American Academy of Otolaryngic Allergy and a member of the American Rhinologic Society, he regularly attends continuing education conferences including the Southern States Rhinology course, the Western States Rhinology course, and the North American Rhinology and Allergy conference.

Did you know allergies don’t just happen in spring and summer? Fall is just a little more than six weeks away, and with it will come a different variety of pesky allergies.

Dr. Rosenbaum was recently on WATE 6’s Medical Minute to discuss common fall allergies and the best ways to combat them. Ragweed and mold are two of the most common- see what solutions Dr. Rosenbaum suggests to make your fall enjoyable and symptom-free!
