Hay fever

Hay fever

Hay fever is very common, especially during spring months with lots of pollens in the air. It is more common in adults than children, and is not very common in babies. Symptoms often include sneezing, coughing, itchy red or watery eyes, itchy throat, mouth, ears or nose. This can be managed by a pharmacist who can assist with recommending medications or symptoms relief products that can assist.

If a patient has more complicated symptoms, they may not have simple hay fever. It may be another flu like illness. Please ask closely about the patients symptoms so we can ensure that they come in to see us appropriately.
