How can you stop winter allergies, and what treatment options are recommended in Europe?

Winter allergies explained: indoor allergens, dust mites, mould spores, pet dander, allergic rhinitis, and symptom control.

In this episode, we outline why allergy symptoms can worsen in winter and how doctors assess and manage them under EU medical guidance.

You’ll learn:

• Common winter triggers: dust mites, indoor mould, heating-related air dryness

• Symptoms of allergic rhinitis: sneezing, nasal congestion, itchy eyes, postnasal drip

• The difference between winter allergies and viral colds

• How antihistamines and intranasal corticosteroids work

• The role of saline nasal irrigation

• Environmental control strategies (ventilation, bedding hygiene, humidity control)

• When allergy testing (specific IgE or skin prick) is appropriate

• Red flag symptoms such as wheezing, shortness of breath, or sinus infection signs

We explain how doctors assess symptom duration, seasonality, asthma history, medication response, and environmental exposure during an online consultation in the EU. Persistent or severe symptoms may require stepwise therapy or specialist referral.

This episode reflects the clinical standards used by Mobi Doctor, where allergy and respiratory consultations are reviewed by a registered physician in line with EU medical guidance.
