What is the best treatment for hay fever? When does Hay Fever season end? Can you die from hay fever? Is there a cure for hay fever?
In different parts of the worl hay fever season occurs at different times, but it is generally a term used to describe the time of year when flowers and plants are being pollinated.
Prolonged sinus congestion due to hay fever may increase your susceptibility to sinusitis — an infection or inflammation of the membrane that lines the sinuses. Hay fever symptoms often begin when the pollen count is over 50. Most cases of hay fever can be treated using over-the-counter medication. Your local pharmacist can advise you on treatments for you or your children.
Ultimately,there are three broad pollination seasons -spring, summer and fall- in which hay fever tends to occur and you may suffer more or less during one season than you do in another. The majority of patients with hay fever have a parent or sibling who also has allergies. It is known as seasonal rhinitis, sharing symptoms with perennial (year round) allergic rhinitis, but occurring as a reaction to pollen from grass, trees and weeds during the early spring and summer months.
