treating hayfever

[LukeB]

Is there anything else that can help hayfever?

My hayfever has been really bad this year, i started taking allergy tablets and they make me drowsy and i don't want to keep feeling like that. Is there anything else i could take that doesn't give make me drowsy?

Nasal sprays are better than antihistamine tablets keep your windows closed at night, if it’s really bothering you, your GP can prescribe a stronger spray

[Barry.]

Yes you'll need to keep your window shut. Get a fan of you are too hot.

Do you use an inhaler

Eating honey apparently is good but I’ve never tried. Old wives tale.

Thing is i always sleep with the window open i can’t sleep without it open (even in winter) :worry:
It was never this bad before

No i don’t have asthma, does an inhaler help?

Might try this! I love honey

I don't have hayfever myself but I think in some cases it does help (mostly if your throat is affected by it)

Are you sure it's hayfever?

Locate a supplier of local honey (local to you)

[Amy Jade]

I have pretty bad hayfever and had all sorts off the doctor but as LaLa and Josy said honey really works but it has to be local.

I also use a doctor prescribed spray and just last year I started using barrier balm, it's amazing, I dab it on my nose and eyes (under eye, just incase you sweat and it gets in your eyes) it was about £5

There are non-drowsy antihistamines...

Other than that "nasal douching" with saline can help but it feels ****ing horrendous.

My hayfever hasn't happened at all this year so I can only assume that I am CURED :omgno:. I usually get itchy eyes/puffy tear ducts and nasal irritation so bad that it causes nosebleeds :(. Nothing this year though :think:.

wash your face regularly, also you could invest in an air filter and activate it in a small room. If you have somewhere you can escape to for a few minutes it helps a lot.

I used to suffer from hay fever terribly, but it does reduce as you get older until it finally disappears. You wont see many old folks with hay fever

My husband uses Piranase nasal spray and says it’s good...
