📌 SAVE THIS & SHARE WITH A PARENT WHO NEEDS TO SEE IT

Your child has a runny nose, keeps sneezing, and their eyes are itchy.

You assume it’s a cold.

But after 2 weeks, they’re still showing the same symptoms.

Sound familiar?

It may not be a cold at all. It could be hayfever.

Hayfever symptoms can often look very similar to a cold, but they can last for weeks or even months during allergy season.

Common signs include:
🌼 Sneezing
🌼 Runny or blocked nose
🌼 Itchy, red or watery eyes
🌼 An itchy throat or ears

If you’re unsure whether it’s a cold or hayfever, speak to your local Allied Pharmacy team for advice and support.

Have you noticed hayfever symptoms in your child this year? 👇
