Hay fever symptoms begin at the same time each year. The most common
cause of hay fever is wind-borne pollen. The linings of the nose, throat, and
eyes become inflamed. Symptoms include:
- Itchy, watery
eyes.
- Sneezing.
- Runny, stuffy, or itchy
nose.
- Temporary loss of smell.
- Headache and
fatigue.
- Dark circles under the eyes.
- Mucus draining
from the nose down the back of the throat (postnasal drip).
Call your health professional for an evaluation if you think you have
hay fever and using home treatment and nonprescription allergy medication does
not help you feel better.
