What is hay fever?
Hayfever is a common allergy that usually affects people in the spring and summer when plants start to release pollen, a very fine powder that is part of the plant’s reproductive system.
The proteins in pollen can cause your nose, throat, eyes and sinuses to become swollen and inflamed.
Hay fever is usually worse between late March and September in the UK, when the pollen count is at its highest.
Symptoms of hay fever include:
- Sneezing and coughing
- A runny or blocked nose
- Itchy, red or watery eyes
- Itchy throat, mouth, nose and ears
- Loss of smell
- Pain around the temples and forehead
- Headache or earache
- Feeling tired
If you also suffer from asthma, hay fever can also cause a tight feeling in your chest, shortness of breath or wheezing and coughing.
What causes hay fever?
