Treatment
According to the HSE in Ireland, the best way to control most allergies is to avoid the trigger substance. However, it is very difficult to avoid pollen, particularly during the summer months when you want to spend more time outdoors.
A range of products is available to treat the symptoms of hay fever. Some may be prescribed by your GP, but others are available over-the-counter (OTC) in most pharmacies.
Pop in to Leech Pharmacy in Ranelagh for more information. Medication comes in several forms such as drops, sprays and tablets.
