How does beclomethasone relieve hay fever symptoms? 

Beclometasone is a type of medication known as a corticosteroid or steroid. This means that it works to ease hay fever symptoms by reducing inflammation in your nasal passages, in addition to preventing itching and sneezing. It also helps to clear a blocked nose by reducing swollen blood vessels, giving you room to breathe and easing a runny nose at the same time.

What is hay fever?

Hay fever refers to an allergy to pollen - in fact, it’s one of the most common allergies in the UK. Pollen particles swarm the air all year round, but it typically worsens when it’s warm, humid and windy between the months of March and September.

It presents symptoms similar to the common cold, however, hay fever can last for weeks and months at a time. You may experience the following symptoms:

• Sneezing

• Coughing

• A runny or blocked nose

• Red, watery eyes

• An itchy throat, mouth, nose and ears

• Loss of smell

• Pain in your forehead and temples

• Headache

• Earache

• Fatigue  

Just like there’s no cure for an allergy, there unfortunatley isn’t a cure for hay fever, either, but the symptoms can be managed with antihistamines, nasal sprays and eye drops.
