What is Hay fever
Hay fever is an allergic reaction. Hay fever is caused by an allergic response to outdoor or indoor allergens, such as pollen, dust mites or pet dander.
Symptoms of Hay fever
- Runny nose and nasal congestion
- Trouble sleeping
- Watery, bloodshot eyes
- Sneezing
- Cough
- Fatigue
- Itchy nose, roof of mouth or throat
- Sinus pressure and facial pain
- Decreased sense of smell or taste
Causes of Hay fever
During a process called sensitization, your immune system mistakenly identifies a harmless airborne substance as something harmful. Your immune system then starts producing antibodies to this harmless substance. The next time you come in contact with the substance, these antibodies recognize it and signal your immune system to release chemicals such as histamine into your bloodstream. These immune system chemicals cause a reaction that leads to the irritating signs and symptoms of hay fever.
