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 minimise 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 desensitising 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.

Symptom checker
If you are experiencing any of these symptoms, please book an appointment with us. Symptoms can vary from person to person and from condition to condition.A proper diagnosis can only be made through a thorough medical examination.
Our clinicians will carry out a full assessment to ensure an accurate diagnosis and appropriate care.
Are you experiencing frequent sneezing or a runny or blocked nose?
These symptoms are common in hay fever and occur when pollen triggers an allergic response, causing nasal irritation and inflammation that can interfere with breathing, sleep, and daily activities.
Do you have itchy, red, or watery eyes?
Eye irritation is a typical hay fever symptom caused by allergens affecting the eye surface, leading to redness, itching, watering, and discomfort that may worsen outdoors or during high pollen periods.
Are you suffering from nasal congestion or sinus pressure?
Inflamed nasal passages can cause ongoing congestion, facial pressure, headaches, and a reduced sense of smell, making breathing uncomfortable and affecting concentration and wellbeing.
Do you feel itching in your throat, ears, or the roof of your mouth?
Hay fever can cause persistent itching in these areas due to airborne allergens irritating sensitive tissues, often creating discomfort that is difficult to relieve without treatment.
Do you have a persistent cough or need to clear your throat often?
Post-nasal drip linked to hay fever can lead to frequent coughing or throat clearing, particularly at night or in the morning, disrupting sleep and daily routines.
Are you feeling unusually tired or struggling with poor sleep?
Hay fever symptoms can disturb sleep due to congestion, coughing, or itching, resulting in fatigue, low energy, and reduced focus during the day.
