8 month old with hayfever? - what to do?!

hello, my dd is almost 8 months old and for past 4 days has had runny nose, yellow gunky eyes and a cough. Now I know this could be anything, but she has got progressively worse (we have been taking her out more now the weather is nice) and today her eyes seem all red and puffy, she itches them a lot, she is very tired and lethargic and has moments where she can't catch her breath when she coughs, which would to me indicate narrowing of her airways due to allergy - she is a very allergic baby anyway, so my questions are:

does this sound like hayfever?
should i be worried?
what can i do to help her?

oh and she has recently been shaking her head from side to side like she is saying no - is this related? or is she just a little wierd?! or should again i be worried about this?!

thanks in advance, as you might be able to tell, she is my PFB

you could try piriton - antihistamine for children, should help with itching.
