Spring Fatigue or Allergy? How to Recognize the First Symptoms Early 04.07.2026

Watery runny nose, nasal congestion, repeated sneezing, itchy eyes, or fatigue without signs of infection. Many people consider these symptoms to be ordinary spring tiredness, but they are often the first signs of an allergy. If you are looking for top-quality allergy care in Prague 6, MY CLINIC can help you get through the season calmly and without unnecessary worsening of your health.

Did you know? In the Czech Republic, the pollen season often begins as early as February (hazel, alder), earlier than most people expect.

How to tell the difference between spring fatigue and allergy?

Spring is usually associated with a return of energy, but for people with allergies it can feel very different: poorer sleep, tired eyes, pressure in the nose, or a general sense that the body is not functioning as it should. Allergy can be deceptive — it often does not begin dramatically, but rather gradually and subtly.

Allergy vs. Cold: How to Tell Them Apart?

For quick orientation, this comparison of key symptoms may help:

Symptom   Allergy Cold (viral infection)
Temperature / Fever   Never present Often present
Itching (eyes, nose, throat)   Typical and strong symptom Rare or not present
Nasal discharge   Watery, clear, runny Thick, later colored
Sneezing   Often in repeated fits Occasional
Duration   Weeks to months (depending on the season) Usually 7–10 days


If your symptoms are accompanied by cough or worsening breathing, early diagnosis is essential to help prevent the development of asthma.

Allergy and Immunology in Prague 6 under the care of Assoc. Prof. MUDr. Adam Klocperk, Ph.D.

Our allergy and immunology department is led by Assoc. Prof. MUDr. Adam Klocperk, Ph.D., a highly respected specialist who evaluates each patient’s symptoms in a broader context and looks for targeted solutions based on their actual condition.

“With spring allergies, it is essential not to underestimate the first symptoms. Patients often come in only once they already have active allergic inflammation and disturbed sleep,” explains Assoc. Prof. Klocperk. “Properly managed treatment should begin early, and for some patients it also makes sense to consider allergen immunotherapy, which targets the underlying cause of the condition itself.”

What we can help you with throughout the year:

  • Seasonal and year-round allergies (pollen, dust mites, mold, animals, insects)
  • Respiratory problems — long-term runny nose, cough, and shortness of breath
  • Immunological issues — recurrent infections and the need for immunomodulatory treatment
  • Pediatric allergy care in the family-oriented environment of our clinic
