In short
A daily non-drowsy antihistamine (like cetirizine) started before symptoms flare is the backbone of hayfever control, alongside avoiding peak pollen and rinsing pollen off at night.
Your hayfever routine
- 1
Start early
Begin a daily antihistamine as the season starts, not after symptoms hit. Prevention beats cure.
- 2
Add a barrier
A steroid nasal spray helps a blocked, itchy nose; eye drops soothe itchy, watery eyes.
- 3
Reduce exposure
Check the pollen forecast, keep windows shut at peak times, and shower to rinse pollen off before bed.
Frequently asked
Which antihistamine is best for hayfever?
Non-drowsy antihistamines like cetirizine or loratadine taken once daily suit most adults. If one does not work well, it is worth trying another, as responses vary.
Can I take antihistamines every day in season?
Yes, daily use through the pollen season is normal and recommended for consistent control. Follow the pack and speak to a pharmacist if you are pregnant or on other medicines.
