Prices start from £4.50 Prices and product informationHay Fever, also known as Allergic Rhinitis, is a common allergic condition that causes inflammation of the nasal passages when the immune system reacts to airborne allergens like pollen, dust mites, or pet dander. This reaction leads to symptoms such as sneezing, nasal congestion, runny nose, and itchy or watery eyes. Hay Fever can be seasonal, often occurring during specific pollen seasons, or perennial, lasting year-round due to indoor allergens. While not life-threatening, it can significantly affect daily comfort and quality of life if left untreated.
What is hay fever (allergic rhinitis)?
Hay fever, also known as allergic rhinitis, is a common allergic condition that affects the nose and eyes. It happens when your immune system overreacts to allergens such as pollen, dust mites, mould, or pet dander. Hay fever can cause uncomfortable symptoms but is usually easy to manage with the right treatment.
What causes hay fever?
When you breathe in these allergens, your immune system releases chemicals such as histamine, which trigger allergy symptoms.
How does hay fever affect the body?
When allergens enter your nose, your immune system mistakenly treats them as harmful. This causes the release of histamine and other chemicals, leading to inflammation in the nasal passages. This results in symptoms such as sneezing, a runny or blocked nose, and itchy eyes.
How is hay fever diagnosed?
Hay fever is usually diagnosed based on your symptoms and medical history. Your doctor may ask when symptoms occur and what seems to trigger them. In some cases, allergy tests may be recommended to identify specific allergens.
What treatments are available for hay fever?
These treatments can help control symptoms and improve daily comfort.
