Hayfever, or allergic rhinitis, is an allergic reaction to airborne substances like pollen, dust mites, or pet dander. It causes symptoms such as sneezing, runny or blocked nose, itchy eyes, and throat irritation.
Common treatments include antihistamines, nasal corticosteroids, decongestants, eye drops, and saline nasal sprays. These help alleviate symptoms by reducing inflammation, blocking histamine, and clearing nasal passages.
Antihistamines work by blocking the action of histamine, a chemical released by the immune system during an allergic reaction. This helps reduce symptoms like sneezing, itching, and runny nose.
Yes, nasal corticosteroid sprays are highly effective in treating hayfever symptoms, particularly nasal congestion and inflammation. They are often recommended for daily use during allergy season.
Natural remedies such as using a saline nasal rinse, consuming local honey, or taking herbal supplements like butterbur and quercetin may help alleviate symptoms. However, their effectiveness varies, and they should be used in conjunction with conventional treatments.
It's best to start treatment a few weeks before the allergy season begins, especially if you're aware of your triggers (e.g., tree or grass pollen). This can help minimize symptoms when pollen counts are high.
There is no cure for hayfever, but symptoms can be managed effectively with treatments. In some cases, immunotherapy (allergy shots) may provide long-term relief by gradually desensitizing the immune system to allergens.
Most hayfever medications, like antihistamines and nasal corticosteroids, are safe for long-term use when taken as directed. However, it’s important to consult with a healthcare provider to ensure the best treatment plan.
Lifestyle changes include staying indoors on high pollen days, keeping windows closed, using air purifiers, showering after being outside, and avoiding known allergens. Wearing sunglasses outdoors can also reduce pollen exposure to the eyes.
Many hayfever treatments are safe for children, but dosages and specific medications may differ. Always consult with a paediatrician before giving hayfever medications to children to ensure safety and effectiveness.
