Allergy & Hayfever FAQs

Hayfever, or allergic rhinitis, is an allergic reaction from your immune system that causes a runny nose, sneezing and itchy or watery eyes. Many treatments for hayfever are available over the counter.

What triggers hay fever?

Hayfever can be triggered by a range of things, including:

Pollen

Grass

Dust mites

Animal fur

Please note that allergy symptoms may differ, but treating them as soon as possible is important.

Seasonal allergies occur when you sneeze or have a runny nose due to the high pollen count in the area or when there is a lot of grass in the air.

When is hay fever season in Australia?

Hayfever is incredibly common, affecting one in five people in Australia. For some people, it flares up during Spring and Summer as the cause is usually pollen season.

How can I treat allergy symptoms?

You can treat allergy symptoms by:

Using eye drops to soothe your irritated eyes

Using antihistamines, which reduce the symptoms of the allergic reaction

Using nasal sprays or nasal irrigation to help clear your airways

Trying decongestant sprays or tablets as these dry and unblock your nose, but shouldn't be used for more than a few days at a time

Nasal corticosteroids are nasal sprays that reduce inflammation in the lining of your nose.

Many of the medicines listed above are available over the counter at your local Blooms The Chemist. You should try a range of treatments to see which one may relieve symptoms.
