Hay fever treatments

There are a number of hay fever treatments which can make a huge difference to your day-to-day life. The most effective way to treat hay fever is a mixture of antihistamines, nasal sprays and eye drops. All of these products help to provide all-day relief from hay fever symptoms. 

Some of the more common solutions to dealing with pollen include: 

Antihistamines

If you’re buying medications over the shelf there are a few things that you should make note of before purchasing. Tablets that contain Loratadine and Cetirizine are non-drowsy antihistamines great for tackling symptoms during the day. Antihistamines that contain Chlorpheniramine and Diphenhydramine are drowsy, which are good to use if you need a good night’s sleep without sneezing. These are best started 2-3 weeks before the start of the pollen season.

Nasal Sprays

Be patient with nasal sprays, for them to take effect you will need to use one regularly over a period of time. They work particularly well if you suffer from nose congestion during the season. 

Eye drops

Itchy or dry eyes can quickly be solved with eye drops. Keep a bottle in your bag so you can relieve irritable eyes on the go. 

Other treatment

If you have exhausted all options then you might benefit from speaking to a GP to discuss treatment options.
