Hay fever, also known as seasonal allergic rhinitis, is a very common condition that affects over 20% 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 can sometimes be similar to a cold in its symptoms which can include a runny nose, watery eyes and sneezing attacks. As with all allergies, the symptoms happen as a result of your immune system overreacting to a normally harmless substance, in this case pollen.

Hay fever symptoms can vary in severity and often symptoms can be worse in some years than others, depending on the weather conditions and pollen count.

In general, the symptoms of hay fever are:

  • Frequent sneezing
  • Runny or blocked nose
  • Itchy or watery eyes
  • An itchy throat, mouth, nose and ears
