Life by the sea in Spain seems perfect, but allergies are common: some people react to pollen, others to the sun or new foods. Families with children often face these challenges most acutely. Here’s how to recognize allergies and what to do.
Pollen and seasonal allergies
Symptoms: runny nose, cough, watery eyes.
👉 What helps: doctor consultation, antihistamines, prevention.
Sun allergy (photodermatitis)
On the Costa Blanca, sun exposure is high even in autumn. Red patches and itching may signal sun allergy rather than sunburn.
👉 Care: use SPF, avoid midday sun, see a doctor for severe reactions.
Food allergies
Seafood, exotic fruits or unfamiliar foods can trigger reactions.
👉 Tips: read labels, track symptoms, consult a doctor if severe.
When to see a doctor urgently
— swelling of lips/face;
— difficulty breathing;
— rash in children;
— repeated unexplained reactions.
