English Plantain Allergy Relief | Enticare Phoenix, AZ
Spring in Phoenix can bring blooming flowers… and sneezing, itchy eyes, and runny noses. A common culprit is English plantain, a widespread weed whose pollen can trigger seasonal allergies from May through November.
Symptoms & Causes
Allergic reactions to English plantain pollen can include:
-
Sneezing and runny or stuffy nose
-
Itchy, watery eyes
-
Scratchy throat and coughing
-
Headaches in some cases
The protein in plantain pollen triggers your immune system, causing these frustrating allergy symptoms.

-
Over-the-counter antihistamines and decongestants
-
Prescription nasal corticosteroids
