Hay Fever Season is Here!
As we move into May, pollen levels are on the rise — and so are symptoms of hay fever and seasonal allergies.
Common symptoms include:
Sneezing
Itchy or watery eyes
Nasal congestion
Headaches
General discomfort
These symptoms can affect your day-to-day life, but the good news is many cases can be managed safely with over-the-counter treatments
Did you know?
Your local community pharmacy can offer expert advice and effective treatments — often without needing to see a GP.
If your symptoms are mild to moderate, consider speaking to your pharmacist first
