Earlier this week I woke up with a blocked up nose and a dry mouth. Assumed I was getting a bit of a cold. Ok during the day. Wednesday morning a bit of an itchy eye as well. Thursday morning my eyes were itchy, red and had been weeping quite badly, one was all crusted together and I felt drained and bleurgh. Assumed I had picked up a bug and thanked my lucky stars I had not passed it to baby yet.
Symptoms seem a bit off for a cold and everything online suggested allergy symptoms. Took an antihistamine last night and symptoms all but vanished. What could have caused this sudden reaction to have started? I understand it is tree pollen season but we keep our windows closed at night as we are ground floor so wouldn't that lessen symptoms? I have changed my washing powder very recently but I am certain the bedding I am using this week came from the airing cupboard and was washed with the old stuff. I am very confused!
