Hayfever, also known as allergic rhinitis, is a common allergic condition that occurs when the immune system overreacts to particles in the air, such as pollen, dust mites or pet dander.

This overreaction triggers the release of histamine and other chemicals, leading to symptoms such as:

• Congestion and stuffiness
• Runny nose
• Sneezing
• Itchy eyes, nose, and throat
• Postnasal drip

Hayfever can be seasonal or perennial, depending on the specific allergen. Seasonal hayfever is typically triggered by pollen from trees, grasses, or weeds, while perennial hayfever is triggered by allergens such as dust mites, pet dander or mould.
