Knowing what’s causing your symptoms is important for choosing the right treatment.
If you’ve got hay fever, or asthma, or both, it’s important to make sure they’re well managed.

The answer might surprise you.
Struggling with watery, itchy red eyes and a runny, congested nose? Here are your options for hay fever treatment.
A number of environmental factors, including thunderstorms, are likely to be contributing to the current hay fever havoc.
Sublingual immunotherapy reduces hay fever symptoms by changing the immune system’s response to allergens.
Research suggests there could be a link between hay fever and the microbiome. Exploring this connection paves the way for potential treatments.
Our genetics, immune systems and conditions in the environment around us can all play a role in susceptibility to hay fever.
Hay fever treatment options range from common over-the-counter products to specialist medicines.
Pollen can trigger thunderstorm asthma, even in those without diagnosed asthma.
It’s a long-term treatment – people having allergen immunotherapy typically notice improved symptoms after six to 12 months.
