Hayfever

DS18 suffers really badly with hay fever and he had some terrible problems during his GCSEs. He is very worried about same thing happening with A levels. Hes tried every type of medication as well as all the practical precautions. Thinking about going private for a steroid injection but am a bit concerned about the side-effects. Anyone else's YP done this? (Our GP is useless btw).

Have you tried the nasal spray that’s on prescription, not sure of its name? We got that for DS’s GCSE’s

I've not tried steroid injections but I do find that the earlier I start taking antihistamines the better my symptoms are.

Has he started taking them yet?
