It's Hay Fever Season
 |
We have seen the
usual spate of hay fever - itchy eyes, sneezing and wheezing
- that accompanies the warmer weather in early June. If
you're unlucky enough to be a hay fever sufferer what can
you do?
Symptoms are worse in the early morning and late evening,
when the pollen particles in the air settle nearer the
ground. Walking outside in long grass at these times should
be avoided if possible.
If medication is needed we recommend any of the once-a-day,
non-sedating antihistamines, such as desloratadine. Eye
drops, such as sodium cromoglycate, and nasal sprays, such
as Nasonex, are worth adding in if the tablets are
insufficient by themselves.
Talk to the dispensary staff, who will be able to organise treatment
for you if you are a regular hay fever sufferer. |
