These symptoms can be accompanied by nasal congestion, sneezing and runny nose.

Keep your windows closed
In spring, it is possible to avoid conjunctivitis by paying attention to some points. At the beginning of these comes protection from ultraviolet rays that increase allergies in the spring. These rays can cause serious damage to the eyes when exposed to the sun. For this reason, windows should be kept closed both during the day and when sleeping at night, sunglasses should be used against ulraviolic rays when going out during the day.
Do not be in air-conditioned environments
Along with warming weather, the demand for air conditioning devices will also increase. But people with allergic diseases should stay away from air conditioners. Because mites such as mold and dust accumulate inside air conditioners. This, in turn, can lead to the fueling of allergy problems.
