Antihistamines help relieve those bothersome symptoms of hay fever such as sneezing, runny nose, itchy and water eyes. They also relieve the discomfort bough about by allergic reactions to such things as house dust mutes, animal fur and insect bites.
Handy tips for managing your hay fever:
- Where possible avoid the cause of the allergy
-Keep windows closed at night. Use air conditioning that cleans, cools and dries the air.
-Keep car windows closed and use air conditioning on 're-circulate air' wherever possible
-Minimize early morning activity when pollen is most usually emitted (between 5am-10am)
-Damp dust surfaces rather than using a feather duster
-Ensure pets are kept away from bedrooms
-Mow lawns frequently to avoid flowering and remove any fallen leaves and garden debris
-Select garden plants which are low pollen producers (usually native species)
