What is allergy and hayfever

Allergies and hay fever are responses from your immune system to substances that are usually harmless. For those with allergies, the body perceives these harmless things as threats, triggering an immune response.

What is hay fever?

Hayfever, medically known as allergic rhinitis, is an allergic response to airborne substances such as pollen, dust mites, and pet dander. When these allergens enter your body, your immune system mistakenly identifies them as harmful and releases chemicals like histamine to fight them off. This reaction leads to the common symptoms of hayfever.

Hay fever symptoms

Hayfever symptoms typically include:

  • Sore throat
  • Itchy, red, or watery eyes
  • Sneezing
  • Runny noses or blocked nose
  • Itchy throat, mouth, nose, and ears
  • Cough caused by postnasal drip

These symptoms can vary in intensity and may significantly impact your daily life. They can affect your concentration and cause trouble sleeping and enjoying outdoor activities.

Diagnosing hayfever

Understanding whether your symptoms are caused by hay fever is a crucial step towards finding relief:

Professional assessment

If you suspect you have hayfever, it's essential to consult a healthcare provider. They can perform a physical examination and may recommend allergy tests, such as skin prick tests or blood tests, to identify specific allergens causing your symptoms.

Self-assessment

You can also keep a diary of your symptoms and potential triggers. Note when and where your symptoms occur and any patterns related to your environment, which can help identify and avoid allergens.

Treatment for hayfever and allergy symptoms

Finding the right treatment can make all the difference when you're dealing with hay fever and allergy symptoms. Whether it’s sneezing, a runny nose, or itchy eyes, there are plenty of options to help you feel better.

Over-the-counter (OTC) medications

You can buy OTC medications that can effectively manage hayfever symptoms. Here are some options available at Pharmacy Online:

Antihistamines

Antihistamines work by blocking the action of histamine, a chemical released during an allergic reaction. They help relieve symptoms such as sneezing, itching, and runny nose. Examples include:

  • Cetirizine (Benadryl Allergy Relief): Cetirizine is a non-drowsy antihistamine that quickly relieves allergy symptoms. It is suitable for adults and children over six years old.
  • Loratadine (Clarityn Allergy): Loratadine is another non-drowsy option that can be taken once daily to alleviate symptoms. It is effective and has a low risk of causing drowsiness.

Nasal sprays

Nasal sprays can help reduce inflammation and congestion in the nasal passages. They are particularly effective for people who experience nasal symptoms. Examples include:

  • Beclometasone (Beconase Hayfever Relief): Beclometasone is a corticosteroid nasal spray that helps relieve nasal congestion and dry up runny noses. It should be used regularly for the best effect.

Eye drops

For those who suffer from itchy and watery eyes, antihistamine eye drops can provide relief.

  • Sodium Cromoglicate (Opticrom Hayfever): This eye drop helps to prevent the release of histamine and other chemicals that cause allergic reactions, providing relief from itchy and watery eyes.

Prescription medications

If OTC medications don't work, your healthcare provider may recommend prescription treatments. These include stronger antihistamines, corticosteroid nasal sprays, or combination treatments.

Immunotherapy

For severe cases, immunotherapy might be an option. This treatment involves gradually exposing your body to increasing amounts of the allergen to build up your tolerance. It can significantly reduce symptoms and may even lead to long-term remission.

Lifestyle and home remedies

Allergen avoidance tips

Minimising your exposure to allergens is a key step in managing hayfever. Here are some practical tips:

  • Keep windows closed: Keep windows closed, especially during high pollen seasons, to prevent allergens from entering your home.
  • Wraparound sunglasses: These can help prevent pollen from getting into your eyes.
  • Pollen filters: Use pollen filters in your car and home air conditioning units.
  • Nasal rinse: Regularly rinse your nasal passages with a saline solution to remove allergens.
  • Shower and change clothes: After spending time outdoors, shower and change your clothes to remove pollen.

Alternative medicine

Natural remedies can also play a role in managing symptoms:

  • Honey: Some people find that local honey can help reduce symptoms, although scientific evidence is limited.
  • Saline nasal spray: Helps to wash out allergens from the nasal passages.
  • Air Purifiers: Using an air purifier with a HEPA filter can reduce indoor allergens.

Diet and supplements

Certain dietary changes and supplements may help alleviate symptoms:

  • Vitamin C: An antioxidant that can help reduce histamine levels in the body.
  • Quercetin: A natural compound found in apples, berries, and onions, quercetin may help reduce histamine release.
  • Omega-3 fatty acids: These are found in fish oil and flaxseed and can help reduce inflammation.
