Hayfever
Struggling with Hayfever Symptoms? We Can Help!
Hayfever (also known as allergic rhinitis) is a common condition that affects many people, particularly during the warmer months. It’s caused by an allergic reaction to pollen, dust mites, pet dander, or other environmental allergens. Symptoms can be disruptive and uncomfortable, but effective treatments can help reduce your symptoms and improve your quality of life.
We offer professional advice and medication for managing hayfever symptoms. Whether you're experiencing sneezing, itchy eyes, or a blocked nose, we can help you find the right treatment to manage your condition effectively.
What is Hayfever?
Hayfever occurs when your immune system reacts to allergens, such as pollen, in the air. This reaction triggers inflammation in your nose, eyes, and throat, leading to symptoms like:
Sneezing
Itchy or watery eyes
Nasal congestion
Runny nose
Sore throat
Coughing
While hayfever can occur at any time of year, it's most common in the spring and summer when pollen levels are higher. It can also be triggered by dust mites, mould, and pet dander.
How is Hayfever Treated?
The primary treatment for hayfever includes antihistamines, which help reduce allergic reactions by blocking the action of histamine, a chemical released by your body during an allergic response.
We can prescribe POM (Prescription Only Medicine) antihistamines, such as Fexofenadine, which are highly effective for managing symptoms of hayfever. Our service ensures you have access to the right treatments, tailored to your needs.
In addition to antihistamines, you may also be advised to use:
Nasal Sprays: To reduce inflammation and congestion in the nasal passages.
Eye Drops: For soothing itchy, watery eyes.
Decongestants: To relieve nasal congestion and improve breathing.
