I've been so unwell the past week wi it. Can't breathe, eyes ready to be clawed out, wheezy. Someone said try to have a spoonful of local honey and that should help so off I go to the local farm shop, fingers crossed

Agree with the person above, it doesn’t help much/at all. Get some proper medication x

I tried local honey as well. I honestly can say I didn’t notice any difference or any help at all.
Maybe you need to take the honey for years to build up a bit of immunity but 1 jar didn’t help in the slightest.
Sounds like you need proper hay fever medication and maybe an eye spray to help with the itchy eyes.

Taking honey helps before season starts so you can have some of desensitisation to it but when symptoms start you do need either tablets or sprays to help relieve it

They’re sooo good , I get them on prescription

Fexofenadine has changed my life. I tried everything in the past, nose sprays, honey, injections etc and nothing worked. Saw this on Tiktok as it is now no longer available just on prescription but over the pharmacy and it has been revolutionary. I highly recommend trying it. The only thing that has worked for me. I don’t think people realise how deliberating hay fever is but so thankful for discovering this. Along with a bit of vicks rub on my nose to clear early morning congestion and I feel like a new person!

Fexofenadine is a game changer! Haven’t seen the balm, will give it a try and will try pick it up as I normally use Vicks. Their hay fever wipes (savers) were awful imo, didn’t do anything!

I am absolutely sick of having Hayfever. I have had an absolutely miserable week with it. Have used the balm, the Fexofenadine, the wipes.... but I cannot escape. It is like having a never ending cold

I ended up doing a covid test as it was that bad. It was negative.

Hope all my fellow suffers find some relief soon

Fexofenadine tablets in conjunction with a nose spray (I’m using beconase at the moment but Avamys has been brill when my hayfevers been at its worst).

Guys, not to be dramatic BUT I feel like I’m dyingggg today! I actually feel unwell. I’ve booked an appointment with a GP tomorrow (through work), I feel so stupid doing this but I’ve tried over the counter stuff. Any advice welcome

It's probably a bit late tbh. Most stuff takes a while to kick in, so you should start taking it around two weeks before the season starts to give it a chance to build up. Grass pollen season should be starting to wind down (although it does seem to stretch on later each year). Your best advice would probably be to limit exposure. Keep windows shut, wash your hair and change your clothes when you get in for the day, don't dry your clothes or bedding outdoors. Wear big sunglasses when outside.

Update: my really bad hayfever turned out to be...the start of some horrible chest/throat/Sinus infection. I have been in bed most of weekend and am off work. ( not covid, I tested)

Person above, still see your GP they may be able to help

Has anyone had any bleeding with the fexofenadine? I'm a bit concerned

My partner also had this, on antibiotics.
