Hay FeverHay fever, its triggers and symptoms Hay fever is an allergic reaction to pollen. Severity of symptoms is directly related to the amount of pollen that the sufferer is exposed to. This can vary depending on the pollen count, heat and time of day. Symptoms are similar to allergic rhinitis and include: • running nose and sneezing accompanied by red, itchy, streaming eyes • coughing or wheezing • shortness of breath can also be experienced and for some people the pollen can bring on the symptoms of asthma Less common symptoms include dryness of the throat, no sense of smell, a feverish sweaty feeling, swelling and inflammation of the eyelids, recurrent sinusitis, earache, a stuffy feeling in the ears, or glue ear and itching in the ears.

Avoidance During the hay fever season it is a good idea to: • keep an eye on the pollen count and plan activities accordingly • shower and change clothes when you come in from outside and always leave clothes outside the bedroom • remember that pets can also bring pollen into the house • keep the windows closed while travelling and use a filter in the car • wear glasses to restrict the amount of pollen reaching the eyes • keep the windows closed in the house and use an air cleaner to filter the air • use a personal wearable air purifier to filter the air reaching the mouth and nose • try natural hay fever products References: The Allergy Bible, Linda Gamlin Disclaimer: Information included on this page is intended for information purposes only and is not to be used as a substitute for consultation with a medical practitioner. |
