Hayfever, also known as allergic rhinitis, is a common allergic condition affecting many individuals. It occurs when the immune system overreacts to allergens, such as pollen, dust mites, or pet dander. Hayfever symptoms can vary from person to person, including sneezing, itchy or runny nose, congestion, and nasal itching. If you experience any of these symptoms during specific seasons or when exposed to certain triggers, it’s important to consider hay fever as a possible cause.
Recognising the symptoms of hayfever is crucial for proper diagnosis and treatment.
Common hayfever symptoms include:
In some cases, hayfever can also cause fatigue, irritability, and difficulty concentrating due to disrupted sleep patterns caused by nasal congestion and other symptoms. If you experience these symptoms, you should consult a healthcare professional for an accurate diagnosis.
When symptoms strike, finding an effective hayfever treatment becomes a top priority. Fortunately, several treatment options are available to help alleviate the discomfort caused by hay fever. The choice of treatment depends on the severity of symptoms and individual preferences.
One common approach to hayfever treatment is antihistamines, which block the histamine response responsible for triggering hay fever symptoms. These can be obtained over-the-counter or prescribed by a healthcare professional.
Another popular treatment option for hay fever symptoms is nasal sprays, which provide targeted relief by reducing inflammation and nasal congestion. Nasal sprays are available over-the-counter or as prescription-strength options.
Eye drops and other medications may be prescribed to address specific hay fever symptoms, such as eye itching and watering. These eye drops often contain antihistamines or mast cell stabilizers, which help reduce the allergic response in the eyes. It’s important to follow the instructions provided with the eye drops and consult an eye care professional if you have any concerns or persistent symptoms.
Hayfever tablets, also known as antihistamines, are commonly used to alleviate the symptoms of hayfever. These medications work by blocking the histamine receptors in the body, reducing the allergic response. Hayfever tablets are available over-the-counter and in prescription-strength versions. They can help relieve sneezing, itching, and runny nose symptoms associated with hayfever. However, it’s important to follow the instructions provided and consult with a healthcare professional to ensure safe and appropriate usage of these medications.
For individuals with severe hayfever symptoms that do not respond well to other treatments, hayfever injections, also known as allergen immunotherapy or allergy shots, may be recommended. This treatment involves regular injections of small amounts of allergens over a period of time. The aim is to desensitize the immune system to these allergens, reducing the severity of symptoms over the long term. Hayfever injections are typically administered under medical supervision and require a detailed evaluation by an allergist.
You can take hayfever medication while pregnant, however, you need to check with your GP, pharmacist or midwife before taking any medication because some hayfever treatments are not safe to use during pregnancy.
There is no cure for hayfever but most people find relieving symptoms with prescription or over the counter hayfever medication helps ease any discomfort it causes.
You can control hayfever symptoms by reducing your exposure to pollen. However, this is difficult to do, particularly during spring and summer.
The best hayfever treatment depends on the symptoms you experience. You should choose a treatment option that targets the symptoms you experience. In some cases, this may mean taking two hayfever treatments, like eye drops and antihistamines, provided you have been advised this is safe to do by your healthcare provider.

“Hay fever is a common condition that affects a lot of people, especially during specific seasons. Hay fever happens when you have an allergic reaction to things like pollen, dust mites, or pet dander that are floating in the air. When you have hay fever, you might experience symptoms like sneezing, itching, a runny nose, and watery eyes. To get some relief from these symptoms, many people use over-the-counter hay fever medications.
Antihistamines like cetirizine and loratadine are quite popular because they work by blocking the release of histamine, which is what triggers the allergic response. Nasal sprays that have corticosteroids in them, such as beclometasone or fluticasone, can also help by reducing inflammation and relieving nasal congestion. If your eyes are feeling itchy and irritated because of hay fever, you can use eye drops like sodium cromoglicate to get some relief.
These medications are practical solutions that can help manage the hay fever symptoms. They allow people to go about their daily activities without being constantly bothered by their symptoms.”
