What do you think about all the various products to combat the effects of hay fever? What do you recommend?

I recommend that you see your doctor and get something that will really help.

i recommend moving.

I thankfully can cope will with hay fever so I never felt the need to take extra precautions. From experience, have some antipyretic such as paracetamol in your home. To quell the irritated airways, I recommend doing a steam bath (basin of hot saltwater and cover yourself up with a blanket and inhale that steam). This never fails for me.

Proper pharmaceuticals. Nasal spray, eye drops and anti-histamine tablets. Start before the season kicks off and keep taking them until it ends. Use a HEPA filter in your air conditioner or air filter (keeping the doors and windows closed, day and night). Obviously, avoid high pollen areas when the count is high. Wear a high quality, snug-fitting mask outdoors, and carry spares.

When you get home, change your clothes and wash your hair. A cold, damp cloth or a facial spa unit can give some relief. Change your pillowcases frequently. Stong mints or menthol style pastilles can help. Try to create a low pollen sanctuary in your home to give yourself some relief from it, as it is a wretched thing to suffer from and does wear you down.

Treat hayfever seriously. It can really hamper your child's education and exacerbate other allergies, such as fruit, dust and pet dander. It can be so bad that you are unable to work, constantly sneezing, your eyes watering and your nose streaming.

I've suffered from severe hayfever since I was a child, when there was nothing out there that offered relief. Today the medication that is available, such as loratadine and beclomethasone, can give you real relief. It even allows me to spend time gardening through the summer. Big pharma isn't all bad.

The half a meter of snow that we currently have on the ground completely cures hay fever.

I occasionally have what I call a 'hay-fever day.' I'm fine on the surrounding days but for some reason, one day my nose runs like a tap and I sneeze a bunch. I take an antihistamine, usually Contac, and it generally clears up within the hour. (I don't think that's how you are supposed to use it but it works for me.)

ages old personal experience, a friends wife wiped out every summer. had tests done. (doctor/lab!!!), fruit tree!

One weekend spraying water on their pear tree, gone, two nights disposing. Kit doctor the first call if it prevents a sound night's sleep. One size does not fit all.

Be careful with nasal sprays. I've known two people who started using them and felt they could not stop. Their nasal passages never seemed to open unless they used sprays after extended use.

I recommend stocking up on allergy and hay fever OTC meds when abroad because the ones in Japan are useless.

Eat honey local to your area,dab some vaseline below nostrils,Greek yoghurt seems to work,too.

Wash face,wear wraparound glasses,and grab antihistamines when abroad.

I take an antihistimine and it usually works within 30-60 minutes. The box says to take two but I find one is enough

But I also often try a nasal flush and/or a nasal spray if I think the symptoms aren't too severe.

BTW, how's the thinning out of sugi going, J-gov?

SATO Lavender nasal spray from a drug store works for me, but sometimes I have to go to an ENT doctor and get some allergy medication.

Wearing a mask helps for sure but use a double layered mask.
