Hay fever

If you’re sneezing more than talking lately, you’re not alone! Hay fever (AKA allergic rhinitis) can really make the warmer months difficult. It causes itchy eyes, a runny nose, sneezing and coughing, a headache or pain around the sides of your head or forehead, loss of smell and feeling tired.

Here are some tips to help you cope during peak pollen season:

• Wear sunglasses to protect your eyes
• Keep windows closed during high pollen times
• Shower and change your clothes after being outside
• Antihistamines can help – talk to your GP or pharmacist if you’re struggling
