• Some 15-20% of the UK population are affected by hayfever. It is caused by an allergy when pollen comes into contact with the nose and eyes. Typical symptoms are sneezing, runny nose, blocked nose, itching of the nose and eyes, watering of the eyes and in some sufferers a tight wheezy chest.
  
• Many mild to moderate sufferers control their hayfever with over the counter remedies from the local pharmacy. Please consult with you doctor should you feel that the symptoms are insufficiently helped with this approach.
