could this be hayfever, any hayfever experts about?????

[sanchpanch]

for the past 2 days i have felt like i have got flu, very runny nose, achcing body, sore throat, i havent got runny itchy eyes which i thought you got with hayfever, I have never suffered from hayfever before...

Does this sound like hayfever? i cant afford to go and buy any medication unless i need to?

What is the best thing to buy, i notice there are a few BOGOF offers on the boots website for hayfever stuff,

Can the Doctor prescribe anything, rather than me spending a fortune?

Thankyou

this is exactly how I have felt, on tuesday I thought I was dying with flu.

i do get hayfever but never this bad, I dont have runny eyes just sneezing all the time, blocked nose, itchy ears.

gonna have to get new stuff because the stuff i normally take isnt working this year

so yes i think it probably is hayfever

Could be, as all sufferers have diff symptoms.

Usually I have terrible eyes but have been fine this year. Still streaming nose thpough.

I have used Piriton the most, also Beconase and a friend has recommended Wilkinsons One a day tablets.

thanks for the replies,

Wilkinsons as in the shop that sells most things quite cheaply?

mosschops what do you normally take?

anyone know if you can get anything on prscription?

the doc will prescribe you something which should work out cheaper if s/he prescribes a couple of months worth

I got eye drops and tablets for hayfever on prescription from my gp.As im on income support i get them free.

Splashing face / eyes with cold water helps me and is cost effective. . You could always discuss with doc to check it's nothing else, and then decide from there ?

thanks, i get working family tax credit so also get prescriptions free, maybe i shall buy something from boots in the morning, then make appointment for gp, as i doubt they would see me tomorrow, unless it was a genuine
emergency!

i use a nasl spray (buesoneside or soemthing) and benadryl tablets which are usually great but not having and of it this week
get your gp to prescribe for a few months then you will only have to pay once

flixonase is apparently current top-dog nasal spray.
