➡️ What is Cedar Fever?
Cedar fever doesn't actually come from an allergic reaction to cedar trees. Instead, it's caused by the juniper tree pollen commonly found in central Texas. These trees release a large amount of pollen into the air that can be wind-blown hundreds of miles from the original source. The trees have unique pollination patterns and release their pollen in the air following a cold front in the winter months. The weather conditions from December to early March are ideal for the spread of pollen, which causes many people to experience the unwanted signs and symptoms of cedar fever.

➡️ Signs and Symptoms
- Nasal congestion
- Sneezing
- Sore throat
- Mild fever
- Itchy and watery eyes
- Itchy nose or throat
- Cough
- Headache
- Fatigue
- Plugged ears
- Loss of taste or smell

Cedar fever is an allergic reaction that shares symptoms with common illnesses such as the flu or common cold. One key differentiator is that cedar fever often causes itchy, watery eyes and severe nasal congestion. The symptoms are often worse for people with pre-existing conditions, such as asthma, COPD, or chronic bronchitis. If you experience any of the above mentioned signs or symptoms, it's best to consult a doctor for proper diagnosis and treatment.

➡️ Treatment
Cedar fever symptoms can be annoying and disruptive, but fortunately, there are several ways to treat and manage the condition. One of the most effective ways is to avoid exposure to the allergen. This means staying indoors on days when the pollen count is high, using filtered air conditioning, and keeping windows and doors in your home closed. Antihistamines work by blocking the action of histamine, which is a chemical produced by the body during an allergic reaction. They can be taken orally or applied as nasal sprays to reduce nasal congestion, sneezing, and itchy eyes.

Some examples include:
- Loratadine (Claritin)
- Cetirizine (Zyrtec)
- Fexofenadine (Allegra)

Decongestants work by narrowing the blood vessels in the nasal passages, which helps to reduce swelling and congestion. They can also be taken orally or applied as nasal sprays.

Some examples include:
- Pseudoephedrine (Sudafed)
- Phenylephrine (Sudafed PE)

Nasal corticosteroids work by reducing inflammation in the nasal passages, which can help to relieve congestion and other symptoms of cedar fever.

Some examples include:
- Fluticasone (Flonase)
- Mometasone (Nasonex)

Stronger versions of these medications are only available with a prescription, so talk to your doctor or pharmacist about which one is right for you. Cedar fever typically occurs from December to early March. Some people may experience symptoms for the entire duration of the pollen season, while others may have symptoms that come and go. While it can be frustrating, it's important to remember that cedar fever is manageable with proper treatment and precautions. If you are experiencing severe symptoms or are not responding to over-the-counter medications, please speak to your doctor for additional help and guidance.
