Allergies happen when your immune system reacts to something harmless, like pollen, dust, or pet hair. Hay fever, also known as allergic rhinitis, is a type of seasonal allergy caused by pollen from trees, grass, or weeds.
Common allergy symptoms and signs of hay fever include:
- Sneezing or coughing
- Itchy, watery eyes
- Blocked or runny nose
- Itchy throat or ears
- Tiredness or poor sleep
These symptoms can affect your daily life, especially during high pollen seasons. The good news is that help is available.
