Everything you need to know
Hay fever is a common allergy that causes symptoms such as a blocked or runny nose, sneezing, nasal irritation and itchy eyes during specific times of the year.
Over the past 50 years, hay fever has become increasingly common, and around 1 in 4 adults suffer from it, so you are certainly not alone.
Symptoms of Allergic Rhinitis:
Runny nose
The fluid produced by the nose is watery and clear.
Blocked nose
Stuffed nostrils, making it difficult to breathe through the nose.
Watery eyes, itchy eyes, and red eyes
Also called allergic conjunctivitis. Your eyes may feel gritty and sore and produce lots of tears.
Sneezing
The sneezes are usually very unexpected, and many people sneeze several times in succession.
Itching in the throat, nose or mouth
This itching may also be felt in the ears and is often accompanied by irritation and a scratchy feeling.
Allergic rhinitis can be either seasonal (hay fever) or perennial. Symptoms of hay fever only occur during a certain time of the year whereas symptoms of perennial allergic rhinitis can occur all any time of the year and can be triggered by allergens such as pet allergy, mites, and mould.
