SAN ANTONIO \u2013 An incoming cold front will have San Antonio on a seasonal see-saw when it comes to our temperatures this weekend.<\/p>\n
Saturday\u2019s forecast calls for a high temperature near 90\u00b0, before dropping 20\u00b0 on Sunday.<\/p>\n
Strong winds will accompany the cold front, which could potentially have more allergens in the air.<\/p>\n
Nurse Practitioner Celeste Loera said this is the time of year when she and her colleagues start to see an influx of patients dealing with allergies.<\/p>\n
\u201cSneezing, with sniffles, runny noses, itchy watery red eyes, kind of a sore throat, lots of mucus production,\u201d Loera said are among the symptoms her patients deal with this time of year.<\/p>\n
Loera said it is important to know your symptoms and track how long they are hanging persisting, because they can often mimic different illnesses or flu symptoms.<\/p>\n
Additionally, Loera said parents should keep a close eye on children experiencing symptoms, especially those diagnosed with asthma.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe have to remember that allergies and asthma can go hand and hand and especially with kiddos,\u201d Loera said. \u201cIf we don\u2019t treat it early on it can progress into something even more, like exacerbating their asthma and making that worse.\u201d<\/p>\n
Loera said those suffering from allergies should know when their issues usually kick up, and can talk to their doctors about starting treatment.<\/p>\n
