"Hay fever", a term from a bygone era, actually has nothing to do with hay!
Instead, it’s a general term used to describe the symptoms of nasal allergies to a variety of triggers. It is also known as allergic rhinitis. Most commonly, hay fever symptoms include itchy, watery eyes and nose, a stuffy nose, and sneezing.
See one of our allergists for help discovering your specific allergy triggers. We can advise you on practical ways to avoid these triggers, the use of appropriate medications to control your symptoms, and whether "allergy shots" may be your best option.
