  WHAT IS HAY FEVER?

  Hay fever is often thought of as a trivial condition-just sniffle and a sneeze. In fact , for the the hay fever sufferer, the impact on quality of life can be enormous, and the economic effects are significant too.

  Fortunately with a little bit of forward planning hay fever can be well controlled and in many cases prevented completely. Medically speaking, hay fever is known as allergic rhinitis. Rhinitis literally means inflammation of the nasal passages, b...ut this description is not really an adequate indication of the havoc that hay fever may cause

  The allergic inflammatory process doesn't stop at the nose. The symptoms of hay fever are many and varied. Typically they include sneezing, clear nasal discharge, watery, itchy eyes, itchy throat, blocked nose and , not surprisingly, lack of energy. Headache sometimes occurs and sense of smell can also be affected.

  While none of these symptoms would appear to be life threatening, they can certainly have a serious adverse effect on the productivity of work and study, and destroy the enjoyment of leisure activities. It should be noted that these symptoms do not necessarily require an antibiotic as some people always think!

  Traditionally, hay fever has been classified according to when and why it occurs. It has been known as seasonal (related to pollen), perennial (meaning all-year round) and occupational (people working in industries, where perhaps they may be sensitive to the substances they breathe in at their place of employment.

  Hay fever is further divided into mild or moderate and severe. In the latter case work, school or leisure activities are impaired or sleep is disturbed.

  Our warm weather in Zimbabwe enables the house dust mite (a likely trigger for hay fever) to live happily with us throughout the year. Some household pets- cats and dogs can also trigger hay fever symptoms.

  Oral antihistamines are particularly useful for the runny nose and the sneezing. The so-called second generation antihistamine are also available and are safe and effective, and their once-daily dosage makes them a convenient choice for the mild and intermittent symptoms of hay fever. There are also antihistamine sprays which are useful alternatives. They have a similar effect to the oral antihistamines with a faster onset of action nevertheless, for moderate to severe and persistent hay fever symptoms, intra-nasal corticosteroid sprays may be the best option. Consult your doctor about these.
