What triggers hay fever?
Hay fever is generally triggered by a variety of environmental allergens, such as:
- Dust mites
- Pet dander (the fur and dead skin cells of cats, dogs, rabbits, and other animals)
- Grass, tree, and weed pollen
- Mould
How can I manage hay fever?
Though hay fever can be persistent, there are steps you can take in your everyday life that may help manage and relieve symptoms. These include:
- Reducing your exposure to substances that can trigger hay fever (dust, mould, and other causes).
- Regularly washing your bedsheets to remove any hidden dust mites and other allergens.
- Staying hydrated.
- Consultation with your general practitioner
Can drinking water help manage hay fever?
Drinking water may help manage hay fever symptoms. Drinking water helps you stay hydrated, which in turn can help thin any mucus blocking your nasal passages
How long does hay fever usually last?
Hay fever symptoms usually last as long as your exposure to its triggers. This can range from a few hours to days or weeks, depending on whether triggers are seasonal (like pollen) or more perennial (like dust mites in your home). It differs from a standard cold, which usually lasts one to two weeks.
