Summer means warmer weather and longer days, as well as enjoying the garden and treating family and friends to a barbecue or two. However, it also can be a time of misery for hay fever sufferers around the British Isles.

The pollen allergy affects almost ten million people in England alone, often causing sneezing fits, itchy eyes and headaches. Over half of sufferers say that hay fever disrupts their sleep – leading to fatigue, a drop in productivity and even days off work. The condition is a reaction triggered by allergens in the air around us, like grass, tree, plant pollen and mould.

Normally the worst period for those with pollen allergies is between May and July.

This is the traditional growing season, when trees and plants create more pollen.

Together with warmer more humid temperatures and winds, this can bring about a spike in hay fever symptoms.

There is crucial “two stage” remedy that can offer sufferers with much needed relief.

The first is based around defence, with the use of preventative treatments designed to treat the early onset of symptoms.

One of the best medicines for this are antihistamine tablets, which work blocking the action of histamines – which can cause your hay fever symptoms to flare up.

The two down sides with these kind of tablets is that they can cause drowsiness and take about an hour to kick in.

Hay fever sufferers should consider using nasal sprays and gels, which work within minutes of their application.

The second stage is based on relief, and can involve using corticosteroid nasal sprays.

These help to control a number of different symptoms – from inflammation of the nasal lining and itchy red eyes, to a runny nose, swollen sinuses and sneezing.

Other tips to managing your hay fever include removing outdoor clothing and taking a shower, closing windows at night, avoid placing flowers indoors and staying away from grassy, open spaces, particularly during the early morning and early evening.
