Description
Hay fever often shows up with common symptoms such as sneezing, a runny nose, and itchy eye. It is therefore often mistaken for a common cold. But unlike the common cold that is caused by a virus, hay fever is an allergic reaction that can be triggered by pollen, dust mites, mould, or even pet dander. In many cases, symptoms appear during certain seasons, particularly spring or early summer. In others, they continue throughout the year depending on the source. Though not a serious condition, hay fever can be tiring to deal with, especially when it affects sleep or makes it hard to concentrate. To help understand the condition better, this blog covers everything you need to know about hay fever. Let’s start with the basics.
