Managing allergy and hay fever symptoms requires a combination of medications and lifestyle adjustments. At Warners Bay Pharmacy, we offer a variety of products and strategies to reduce symptoms and help you breathe easier.
Hay fever, or allergic rhinitis, is a type of allergy that specifically affects the nose and eyes, often triggered by pollen, dust, or pet dander. It is characterised by sneezing, nasal congestion, itchy eyes, and a runny nose. Other allergies, such as food allergies or insect sting allergies, cause different symptoms and may affect other parts of the body, such as the skin, throat, or digestive system. Hay fever is more common in certain seasons when pollen counts are high, while other allergies may occur year-round or as a response to specific triggers.
Currently, there is no permanent cure for allergies, but they can be effectively managed with the right treatments. Medications such as antihistamines, nasal sprays, and eye drops help control symptoms, and allergen avoidance strategies can reduce exposure to triggers. Immunotherapy, or allergy shots, may offer long-term relief for some individuals, but these treatments take time and should be discussed with an allergist. At Warners Bay Pharmacy, we can provide ongoing support to help you manage and minimise the impact of allergies on your daily life.
Minimising exposure to allergens is crucial for managing hay fever and other allergies. Key strategies include keeping windows closed during high pollen seasons, using air purifiers in your home, and cleaning your home regularly to reduce dust mites and pet dander. Wearing sunglasses outdoors can protect your eyes from pollen, and washing your hands and face after being outside can reduce the spread of allergens. Additionally, using nasal filters or wearing a mask during activities like mowing the lawn can help prevent inhaling allergens.
