Top Tips For Your Patients To Avoid Hay Fever Symptoms This Summer

Allergen avoidance is recommended where possible. Measures may include:

  • Check the pollen forecast Met Eireann web site
  • Avoiding activity in the early part of the day when pollen counts are high.
  • Avoid going out after storms or very windy days
  • Wearing nasal filters may reduce rhinitis symptoms during the pollen season
  • Staying indoors while grass is being cut or when counts are expected to be high
  • Children should not be allowed play in cut grass
  • Keeping windows shut to prevent pollens drifting indoor
  • Pollen filters can be fitted to vehicles
  • Vaseline applied to nostrils may reduce pollen penetration of the nasal mucosa
  • Showering or bathing once in the day
  • Wear wrap around sunglasses
  • Take your antihistamine early in the day before symptoms occur.
