How do you prepare for Hay Fever season?

Hay fever is a common allergy caused by pollen from trees, grasses and weeds. It often leads to sneezing, a runny or blocked nose, itchy eyes and a sore throat, especially during spring and summer. If you suffer from hay fever, a few simple steps can help reduce your symptoms and make pollen season much easier to manage.

One of the best ways to prepare for hay fever is to check the pollen count each day, so you can plan ahead and limit time outdoors when levels are high. Keeping windows closed at home and in the car can also help stop pollen from getting inside. After spending time outside, showering, changing clothes and washing your hair can remove pollen before it irritates you further.

Wearing wraparound sunglasses is another useful tip, as they help protect your eyes from pollen and reduce itching and watering. Many people also find relief with hay fever medication, including antihistamines, nasal sprays and eye drops, which are available from pharmacies and through a GP if symptoms are severe.
