Definatley, I have already been to the doctors and got some beconase and zirtex, though I am struggling to get some eye drops as I wear contact lenses. Hopefully the zirtek will kick in before my eyes start.

We live opposite some fields so thats why I usually start early, but, my hayfever has been getting worse every year, it only started 4 years ago.

Don't know whether you know, but vaseline around the nostrils and wearing dark sunglasses help, I have just bought myself some divine sunglasses in preparation.

My son has hayfever the problem is that the allergy medicines I purchase over the counter specifies not using for more than 5 weeks but the hayfever last much longer. What do I do?

anybody with hayfever should avoid drying their washing on the line outside,due to pollen getting on it,especially on bedding! As for anti-allergy medicines-I didnt know you couldnt use them for more than 5 weeks-Its new to me-my son uses piriton,he also has aqueous eye drops that prevent itching. Both of these are prescribed by Dr. Sleep with the window shut! Even in warm weather.

try the homeopathic remedy 'allium cepa ' it is the right remedy for those symptoms whatever is causing them-it always works for me
