Hayfever season is in full swing, and for many people that means the return of symptoms like sneezing, watery eyes, and a blocked nose. In Ireland, pollen is one of the main triggers, especially between March and September when grass, trees, and weeds release more of it into the air.
Unlike a cold, hayfever is not caused by a virus. It happens when your immune system reacts to harmless airborne allergens like pollen. This reaction leads to inflammation in the nose, throat, eyes, and ears, which can make everyday life uncomfortable.
Common hayfever symptoms include:
Sneezing and coughing
A runny or blocked nose
Itchy, red, or watery eyes
Itchy throat, mouth, nose, or ears
Thankfully, there are proven remedies that can help manage these symptoms and make hayfever season a little more bearable.
