JACKSON, MS, UNITED STATES, September 15, 2026 /EINPresswire.com/ -- As summer comes to a close, Mississippi doctors are preparing for the fall allergy season, which runs through November with a peak in September. Warm and wet weather has spiked pollen levels across the country, and rainfall tied in part to El Niño will contribute to higher weed pollen levels this fall. Doctors at the Mississippi Asthma & Allergy Clinic are preparing for an influx of patients.

“Autumn is a prime time for allergies,” said Dr. Chelle Wilhelm, a physician at Mississippi Asthma & Allergy’s Jackson clinic. “During this time, we experience warmer temperatures, causing more pollen to be released into the air. Weed allergens such as ragweed are the most common at this time of year. Some symptoms to look out for are: sneezing, watery and swollen eyes, stuffy nose, coughing, hives, headaches, and sinus pain.”

Mississippi Asthma & Allergy Clinic offers allergy testing and a variety of treatments to help with fall allergies, including immunotherapy. The clinic’s expert allergists spend time with their patients, educating them on ways to prevent allergy flare-ups as allergy triggers spike.

Mississippi Asthma & Allergy Clinic recommends the following precautions during fall allergy season:
-Avoidance of triggering substances
-Showering and changing clothes after being outside
-Wearing a mask outdoors during high pollen times
-Routine dosing of antihistamines during allergy season
-Over-the-counter or prescription decongestants, nasal sprays, and other medications.

“Continue to be mindful this allergy season and be on the lookout for symptoms,” said Dr. Joshua Phillips, a physician at Mississippi Asthma & Allergy’s Jackson clinic. “We can help you create a plan to combat allergy symptoms and discuss treatment options that make the fall allergy season more bearable.”

While there are a variety of treatments to combat allergens, the best way to determine your specific allergy and triggers and find relief is to schedule an appointment with a board-certified allergy specialist at MSAAC.
