If you put a tiny bit of vaseline around his nostrels (obviously a smear not a glob) it traps the pollen entering his nose and will reduce it. got to do it before you go out though.

No advice, but I fully expect my DS to get hayfever, as DH and I suffer terribly.

Non-medicinal things that work for me are:

  1. Wearing glasses / sunglasses - will stop pollen getting into your DS's eyes and stop him rubbing them.
  1. Drinking plenty of water: No idea why this works, but it stops my ears being itchy
  1. Lipsalve on my lips and bottom on my nose (and sometimes around ears if it's really bad)
  1. Shower / bath before bed
  1. Close windows at night (stops pollen coming in first thing in the morning.
  1. Don't leave clothes outside overnight or put them out early morning / late evening.

hope they are of some help.
