I have tried various medications, except the steroid due its side effects. Any treatment suggestion would be welcomed.

Personally I have noticed an increase in those around me suffering more from Hay Fever as they get older. I think a lot of it comes down to the fact a lot of children don't really play out anymore. They're protected a lot more, not allowed outside to just play in the dirt. A lot of children today would rather stay in doors and play on the Playstation or watch TV anyway.

I grew up on a farm, and I never had allergy problems until my 14th year. After that, they grew progressively worse until, and the age of 22, I encountered an herbalist who was a friend of a friend. She recommended that I take alfalfa capsules. I did this for two years, twice a day. Finally, my allergies subsided considerably. I now use an OTC allergy med for about a week in the fall and a week in the spring, and that controls the peak allergen times. Otherwise, things are great!
I suppose that, if you consider that allergies are an autoimmune problem, ingesting a common allergen might help to adjust the autoimmune system. At any rate, it worked for me!

convinced, you're meant to take it each day 3 hundred and sixty 5 days round to keep away from indications of hay fever because you get it so usually. really, the zyrtec will be a lot less efficient in case you wait til you get indications. Take preventative measures and take the zyrtec each day. it's going to help you out plenty.

ive only tried a few and last one i used actually got rid of my sneezes but made my eyes more watery itchy and swollen than normal! so now i just try and ride it out....i'd rather sneeze a lot than not be able to see where im going!
more people have been getting it this year, several women i work with have developed this year and never had it previous years..maybe it has something to do with pollen count being higher than normal? maybe it all links to the climate change/ozone layer?
sorry i cant help you more and good luck with it all

Vaseline up the nose. acts as a barricade to the pollen and no side effects.
