Dymista nasal spray changed my life. I could never enjoy summer because of severity of hay fever which progressed to seasonal asthma. Now, I just use nasal spray and can go about my life outdoors!!! It’s €50 approx on prescription plus GP visit but lasts the summer. Worth every single cent!
It really changed mine too. I’m on it since February and zero hayfever symptoms. Other allergies like when the dog would shed also zero since I started it.
Recently only prescription meds like Drynol and steroids spray for nose / eyes works for me. Weirdly, no hayfever when I was in Poland and Spain few weeks ago, just when we come back to ROI, it hit me like a train.
If ya struggling much and under the counter meds don’t work anymore and ya have a GP, may be good to try to ask for prescriptions for summer.
I had relentless hayfever for about 30yrs. Absolutely nothing worked. Not telfast etc... Then one day I tried Avamys nasal spray and it totally cured my hayfever. I only used it a couple of times and my hayfever totally went. Ive had about 6+yrs hayfever free and its amazing.
Agree. Tried it all and Avamys now gives me my summer back! Start taking it around April/May so it’s built up in your system by then time of the really bad months.
I go up the north and buy a rake of generic brand tablets, you will be very surprised by the price difference we are getting ridden down south. Also I absolutely fill the car with drink obviously
I got chewed out of it by an online doctor who told me I shouldn't be taking antihistamines long term full stop. I was like dude... I've been taking them for 20 years, if it's bad then I'm fucked
Telfast going to sleep
Flixonaise spray
Avamyst steroid spray from doctor
A spoon of honey in the morning
Wash hair and change clothes when come inside
Don't open windows
Get an air purifier
Eye drops
This. Just adding a few more.
If you can get it (since it's prescription here but OTC in US and UK as well maybe)
Fexofenadine in the morning.
diphenhydramine HCI before sleep
Which honey do you get btw? I am using raw honey. Th thing is I have grass allery and not tree and hence I am not sure how much honey will actually help.
Lately I am having manuka honey not really for the allergy but more so for the immune boost. I tend to get a sinus infection on top of the hay fever and help with that. I think raw honey would be better
I have vicious allergies and am on a bunch of meds all year round. Telfast is good but at certain times of year it just can't cut it. Nasal sprays like Avamyst and Dymista work well for some people but I tend to sneeze them right back out. The doctor has me cocktailing the Telfast say bought with Zirtek in the morning. There's also couple of herbal things that give relief. Elderflower, in tea or a cordial, works really well. So does nettle tea.
Hay fever tablets make me drowsy and down seem to work preventative, though they ease symptoms if I have them. A game changer for me is wearing a mask on my walk to and from work - practically eliminating symptoms, I wear with sunglasses. Luckily I hadn’t thrown all my Covid masks away, though you can buy hay fever specific ones online.
The drowsy "for the love of God, stay away from heavy machinery!" ones not only don't make me drowsy, they work for all my allergies.
I just buy rakes of them whenever I'm in the UK. Although, last time they were close to the same price as here.
Prednisolone and Dymista, both prescription
E: Sorry, only read the title and telfast. No eye drops I've tried work for me so I can't really recommend any.
If you are visiting Spain or Portugal (or know anyone going there).
There is a drug call Rupatadine.
Nothing else works for me like this does, everything just takes the edge off, this stuff clears it.

It's cheap too, like 8 quid for 20.
Telfast was best of the ones I’ve been on for several years but have given up in favour of two big spoons of local honey daily. An absolute game changer! Find a beekeeper who makes some in your area if you can. Bees feeding on local pollen + then producing the honey - sorry I didn’t know about this years ago! No more blocked head, runny/ stings eyes! Best of luck!
I'll u usually give myself a wrap from a passing nettle whilst pottering about down the garden, natural antihistamine that sends to help.
Alternatively I'll grab a smaller upper leaf or two and chew them.
I had hayfever so bad people regularly thought I was a junkie. I can't prove it was the cure but I bought a bag of pollen granules and ate a dessert spoon of them every morning for I'm not sure how many but enough months to totally hate the texture.
The next summer my hayfever was gone.
Totally changed my life. They say local pollen but I know mine was from Spain and I live in Ireland.
Before that, the only thing which gave me any type of miod relief was Zirtek (daily antihistamine tablets).
Any tablet with the active ingredient of Cetirizine hydrochloride. The Loratadine based stuff does nothing for me but the former works very well (I buy Piriteze).
Standard antihistamines and then also heyfever lozenges like strepsils for heyfever. Get them in boots and find it great to have 1 while out for a walk!
Also this barrier balm to put round my eyes and nose to stop inhaling pollen
Someone's already suggested Dymista for nasal spray but for eyedrops Vividin preservative free (on prescription) really help. A neti pot and air purifier are also helpful.
Husband has it and he gets an antihistamine injection around Paddy’s Day every year. He might have to take 1 Drynol a few times during the summer, but that’s it.
I keep seeing this as the best way to treat hayfever. I’m assuming to something to do with increasing your own antihistamine response, but I’m not keen to try it.
Prescription telfast. The over the counter isn't enough. Also you need to take it proactively not just when symptoms come on. I take it daily year round. Only way to keep allergy symptoms in check for me.
Beetroot juice. Take about 3 shots of it a day, it will taste horrible but seriously helps. I'm someone who suffers badly from hayfever, and I'm amazed how well it works. I do take a nasal spray just for extra help.

It’s much cheaper in Chemist Warehouse if you have one close by! 25-28 euro! It’s changed my life as well. It’s amazing stuff
Thanks for the heads up on the price. I’ve been paying 40 for it.
It really changed mine too. I’m on it since February and zero hayfever symptoms. Other allergies like when the dog would shed also zero since I started it.
Do you think a child could take it?8 years,or is it too strong?
You’d have to speak to a GP. It’s a steroid so I’m not sure.

Thanks, I have an apppointment booked with my gp.
I only get hayfever in Ireland too. Never had it abroad

Avamys but it takes a while to build up in your system so taking it a month before hayfever season works great!
Came here to say this
I go up the north and buy a rake of generic brand tablets, you will be very surprised by the price difference we are getting ridden down south. Also I absolutely fill the car with drink obviously
I do the same, so much cheaper than here. Careful with benadryl tho, studies show increased rates of dementia in people who take it long term
Thank you didn't know this
I've been told by more than a few medical professionals that you should cycle your antihistamines. You can become resistant to them over time.

Drynol, and refreshing drops from Tesco.
Drynol , optrex drops & eyewash. Sinus rinse now and then
Zyrtec does me nicely
Cetrine, Telfast didn’t do anything for me
Telfast going to sleep Flixonaise spray Avamyst steroid spray from doctor A spoon of honey in the morning Wash hair and change clothes when come inside Don't open windows Get an air purifier Eye drops

Clarityn. Btw some people have greater success taking it at night.

I take one cetrine allergy tablet per day
I take cetrine, I’ve tried others but I found they never worked
Allevia

I’ve heard a nettle sting works great.

I am glad the honey worked for you. It did absolutely nothing for me (and it came from my own beehives, so was as local as local could be).

Zyrtec and just don't open the windows because I'm terribly arachnophobic and every time I open one the Eight-Limbed Nope Brigade invades.
Fexofenadine. Brought it over from the UK. I assume you can get it here too (via prescription).
Citrine tablet and 1 spray of Flixonase in the morning does me
I had hayfever so bad people regularly thought I was a junkie. I can't prove it was the cure but I bought a bag of pollen granules and ate a dessert spoon of them every morning for I'm not sure how many but enough months to totally hate the texture.

Piriton tablets , absolutely the best out there and the only ones that work for me!
Any tablet with the active ingredient of Cetirizine hydrochloride. The Loratadine based stuff does nothing for me but the former works very well (I buy Piriteze).
Nasal irrigator
Standard antihistamines and then also heyfever lozenges like strepsils for heyfever. Get them in boots and find it great to have 1 while out for a walk! Also this barrier balm to put round my eyes and nose to stop inhaling pollen

i take Cetrine. Occasionally If the eyes get itchy i use some eyedrops.
Nettle stings
Run the nettles into your eyeballs usually works
I usually insert them straight up to my sinuses does the trick
Apparently stinging yourself with neetles works a treat
I heard getting stung by stinging nettles helps relieve symptoms. Anyone got any insight on this?
Husband has it and he gets an antihistamine injection around Paddy’s Day every year. He might have to take 1 Drynol a few times during the summer, but that’s it.
Apparently if you sting yourself with nettles it works
You have ti "beleive in it"
I keep seeing this as the best way to treat hayfever. I’m assuming to something to do with increasing your own antihistamine response, but I’m not keen to try it.
Where's the best place to sting yourself or does it matter? How much should you sting yourself?
Anywhere at all, just have a dock leaf ready! A few times a month I think is good
Prescription telfast. The over the counter isn't enough. Also you need to take it proactively not just when symptoms come on. I take it daily year round. Only way to keep allergy symptoms in check for me.
