For millions of people, spring means sunshine, warmer weather… and allergy season. In this episode of Beyond the Script, Dr. Jake Goodman is joined by CVS pharmacist Alexandra Wohlgemuth to break down the symptoms, triggers, treatments, and everyday habits that can make spring allergies easier to manage. 

Together, they explore what causes seasonal allergies, how symptoms can show up differently from person to person, and why allergies are sometimes confused with a cold.  They also explain how pharmacists help people navigate the overwhelming allergy aisle, from choosing the right over-the-counter medication to identifying products that may not be the best fit for long-term use. 

Plus, in this episode’s Myth or Medicine segment, they tackle common spring allergy claims, including whether local honey helps, whether staying indoors is enough and whether showering after being outside can really reduce symptoms. 

If spring leaves you sneezing, congested, and uncomfortable every year, this episode offers practical, pharmacist-backed guidance to help you breathe easier.
