Seasonal rhinitis, conjunctivitis and allergic bronchial asthma are affecting both children and adults, with doctors reporting a sharp rise in cases.
About 30% of adults and 40% of children and teenagers experience spring allergies.
Dust, expected to return in the coming days, is likely to worsen symptoms for those already affected.
