Is this hayfever?

Does anyone else get this or know if it is hayfever:
Itchy ears
Itchy and sore throat
Painful cheeks (sinuses)
Horrible taste in mouth
Generally feeling rundown

Nose isn't really running, but painful just inside.
These symptoms come and go and have been particularly bad today, but subsiding a bit now I'm indoors, which has made me think it might be hayfever? I'm doubting though as eyes are fine and no sneezing..

Yes. I have the same, it's a pain!!

Following with interest op. Been feeling the exact same and considering allergy testing.

I get yawning attacks in the afternoon, my nose n eyes stream and I just want to fall asleep! So annoying

@Susiesoap7 do you find antihistamines work? Do you get it year round? I get itchy ears year round and don't know if it's related!

@Kion I've thought about allergy testing too. Do you know how you would go about getting that done?

@padfootprongs I'm not too sure. My gp said the NHS don't tend to do it unless it's severe which mine isn't, but leaves me feeling pretty rotten tbh.

I'm going to go back again soon and see if I can get referred as I would pay privately so I'll see how it goes. x

I don't take anything, nose sprays are quite good but I found they make my nose bleed. I usually start Jan/Feb time with tree pollen. This year it's been worse in the evening when the pollen comes down but seems to pass off after a couple of hours only to start again next morning.

Yep. Along with the itchy eyes and sneezing although they are the lesser symptoms. I spend all summer wanting to rip my throat and ears out because of it. It’s miserable.
