Hay fever, or seasonal allergic rhinitis, affects millions in the UK each year, particularly during spring and summer. If you suffer from itchy eyes, sneezing, or a runny nose, effective management can help you enjoy the season.
Common Symptoms
- Sneezing and blocked nose
- Red, watery eyes
- Itchy throat or ears
- Fatigue due to poor sleep
Treatment Options
- Antihistamines – reduce sneezing and itching
- Nasal Sprays – control inflammation and congestion
- Eye Drops – soothe irritation
- Allergen Avoidance – shower after being outdoors, keep windows closed, and use air purifiers indoors
When to See a Doctor
If hay fever interferes with your daily life or standard remedies don’t help, a private GP at Chase Lodge Hospital can prescribe stronger medication or refer you to an allergy specialist.
