Understanding Hay Fever::
Hay fever, also known as allergic rhinitis, is a common allergic condition that affects millions worldwide. It occurs when your immune system overreacts to allergens in the air, such as pollen, dust mites, or pet dander. Symptoms often include:
- Sneezing
- Runny or blocked nose
- Itchy, watery eyes
- Nasal congestion
- Fatigue

Possible Treatments for Hay Fever:
While there’s no cure for hay fever, several treatments can help alleviate symptoms and improve your quality of life:
- Antihistamines: Over-the-counter antihistamines can reduce sneezing, itching, and runny nose by blocking the effects of histamine, a chemical released during an allergic reaction.
- Nasal Corticosteroids: These prescription nasal sprays help reduce inflammation in the nasal passages, relieving congestion, sneezing, and runny nose.
- Decongestants: Available as nasal sprays or oral medications, decongestants can temporarily relieve nasal congestion by shrinking swollen nasal tissues. However, they should be used sparingly to avoid rebound congestion.
- Allergy Shots (Immunotherapy): For severe cases of hay fever that don’t respond to other treatments, allergy shots may be recommended. These injections gradually expose your body to allergens, helping build tolerance over time.
Remember, it’s essential to consult with a doctor before starting any new treatment regimen, especially if you have existing health conditions or are taking other medications. Your doctor can provide personalised recommendations based on your medical history and individual needs.
