Antihistamine: Start treatment for allergies with an allergy pill.  Claritin (loratadine) or zyrtec works well and lasts 24 hours.  Try it for a couple of weeks.  If it helps, then keep giving it.  If it doesn't help, then see a doctor for help.

See an allergist : If you have access to one, your bad hay fever may have affected your lower airways as well, so you need to control both,  upper and lower airways inflammation. Inhalers and nasal sprays are mainstay of treatment after good evaluation by your doctor / allergist, good luck

Question 10

my 5 year old son struggles badly with hay fever - especially at night time & in the mornings- he barely slept last night - what else, besides allergex, can i give in in the mornings & evening before bed?

Accepted Answer

Virtual consultation: A review of his allergy history, medications and possible triggers may be completed online. Avoid pollen by using a HEPA home filter unit, close windows and continue use of an antihistamine for children. Rinse nasal passages with saline and keep your home clean and dust free. He should also avoid smoke, mold and animal dander. 
Allergy testing may be indicated to identify other triggers.
