Hay fever : Nasal allergy is also called hay fever but it could have nothing to do with hay and only causes fever if there is an infection on top of the allergy problem. Nasal allergies could be caused by pets, dust, mold, grasses, trees, weeds, and feathers for example. Treatment includes avoidance measures, anti-histamines like allegra, nasal sprays like nsacort and sometimes allergy shots.
