Hay fever is an allergy. You get symptoms from pollen from some grasses or trees - this pollen is also called pollen. Symptoms occur when pollen gets into your eyes, nose, mouth, throat or windpipe. This causes your mucous membranes to thicken and produce extra mucus.
Although hay fever is annoying, it is not dangerous. The symptoms disappear by themselves as soon as the pollen is out of the air.
Try to come into contact with pollen as little as possible.
A nasal spray or other allergy medications may provide relief. A nasal spray with an anti-inflammatory can also help. It is important to start these medications on time and keep windows closed on sunny, windy days.
