What are the symptoms of hay fever?

Multiple: They include sneezing, nasal congestion, cough, post nasal drip, loss of smell, and sensation of plugged ears.

Achoo!: Spring's a happy time for some folks, a challenging time for others. When mother nature sends her pollinated greetings, we can sneeze like crazy, get stuffy drippy noses, stuffy ears/ear pain. Our eyes can get watery & itchy. Good news: try nasal saline rinses [neilmed/spray/neti pot], over the counter loratadine/cetirizine, prescription steroid nasal sprays. Lots of ways to get relief. Good luck!

Itching & sneezing: Are symptoms specific for allergic rhinitis. When absent & you have other symptoms of rhinitis - congestion, runny nose, burning, post nasal drip, coughing - think a cold, sinus infection or non allergic rhinitis. Itchy eyes & top of your mouth are other specific symptoms of allergic rhinitis. It's called hay fever because it occurs in late summer when farmers mow the tall grass to make hay.
