Hayfever?

[tiggerblue10]

I've only ever suffered with hayfever once in my life as far as I know, and that was a few years back.

I've had a mild sore throat for the last few days and slightly blocked and runny nose. No other symptoms. Could this be hayfever? As a non-sufferer, is there any reason why I could have it now?

Thanks

I get the same as you Woofgang. My ears have felt all blocked too..
It was funny this morning, as I was pegging washing out, I heard neighbour the doors away, sneezing his head off in garden, then I started!

It's really bad this year. I strongly recommend Sterimar salt water nasal spray for allergies. It washes out your nose and throat. I have found it better than any other spray treatment.

I get a dry nose and throat too like Woofy and have sneezing fits so the allergy pills make it worse. I have a constant sore throat and dry cough too. The inside of my nose is sore and bleeding slightly now after using a prescribed steroid nasal spray.

And blocked ears!!

another vote for sterimar. If my ears (sinuses) do block then I use Beconase but only once.

My ears feel a bit blocked too. And the dizziness I had a couple of weeks ago is also back.

[Apc2604]

Yep dizziness too. Sterimar has helped but make sure you get the right one. There is one for blocked noses too.

Will look into that. Hope Tesco pharmacy does it.

Cheers all

I've got some Sterimar Cold Defence. I wonder if that would help.

Just looked on Amazon....

That,s the stuff Pasta. It washes all the nasties out of your nasal tubes. I might even help a little to protect against covid. Who knows?

Every little counts.. :))

I read that vit D is immune boosting.

[pastafreak]

It is...in high doses.
I use a spray by BetterYou.

I have to take supplements. I had a severe deficiency last year.
