Hay Fever

What is hay fever?


Hay fever, also known as allergic rhinitis, is an allergic reaction that causes common cold and flu-like symptoms. It happens when an allergen (irritant) enters your body through the nasal cavity and causes an immune response.

The symptoms usually are a runny/stuffy nose, sneezing, watery and itchy eyes, headache, pressure on facial bones, increased mucus secretion, tiredness, etc. Unlike the common cold and flu, hay fever is not caused by a virus and only occurs in individuals who have sensitivity to different allergens in the environment.

Frequently Asked Questions


The best cure for hay fever is antihistamines. These medications control histamine release, which is an allergy mediator, and prevents the symptoms. Some other medications for symptomatic management are also considered, such as decongestants or nasal sprays in case of nasal congestion. For those who are sensitive to seasonal allergies, starting immunotherapy before the allergy season begins can help reduce or prevent hay fever symptoms.

Hay fever typically lasts for a longer period and is triggered by airborne irritants like pollen or dust. On the other hand, allergies can be caused by a wider range of factors, including foods or medications. Some cases of hay fever and allergies might look the same, but hay fever is usually more severe.

Hay fever is caused by your immune system reacting strongly to irritants in the air. If you’re sensitive, breathing in things like pollen or dust can irritate your nasal cavity and lead to hay fever symptoms.

Hay fever can last from a few days to several weeks, depending on how severe the symptoms are. In more serious cases, it might go on for months and might need proper treatment to manage it.
