Hay fever, also known as seasonal allergic rhinitis, is a very common condition that affects 20% of people in the UK. It is caused by an allergy to airborne substances such as grass or hay pollens, which affects the upper respiratory passages (nose, sinus, throat and eyes).
Hay fever symptoms can be similar to a cold, and include a runny nose, watery eyes and repeated sneezing attacks.
