How is hay fever treated?

To manage and relieve hay fever (allergic rhinitis) symptoms, consider these tips:

1. Avoiding Allergens:

• Stay outside when pollen levels are high.

• Keep windows closed at home and in your car.

• Use air conditioning with pollen filters.

2. Nasal Wash:

• Rinsing your nose with salt water (saline) can reduce wheezing and clear mucus.

3. Environmental Controls:

• Monitor daily reports to see pollen levels.

• Change clothes and shower when you enter the house.

• Use an air purifier in your bedroom and living areas.

4. Diet and Water Consumption:

• Eating a balanced diet and drinking plenty of water can support your overall health.

5. Cold Application:

• Applying cold compresses to the eyes can relieve itching and swelling.

However, these are general recommendations and in order to get more detailed information about your personal medical condition, I need the answers to the following questions to better understand your medical history:

• When did your symptoms start?
• Are your symptoms worse at a certain time of day?
• What other allergens are you sensitive to?
• Do you have other health problems or current treatments?
