Answer 1

It's obviously not Hay Fever. You could have your central heating up too high.. could be diet. Whilst asleep your body is digesting the food you have consumed.. moving around waste material within the body.. some of this is mucous. Drink a couple of glasses of water before going to bed.. this should help

Hay fever sufferers could develop runny noses and streaming eyes within weeks because of the mild winter.

Experts have found that some forms of pollen which can trigger allergic reactions are already in the air.

Some allergy sufferers experience symptoms all year. Others find certain seasons bring on attacks. Allergy symptom control is most successful when multiple management approaches are used simultaneously. Minimizing exposure to allergens, managing symptoms with medications, and desensitization with allergy shots are all methods that can be useful in controlling allergic symptoms.

Medications properly used can be very helpful. Over the counter drugs can be beneficial, but some cause drowsiness. Sometimes prescription medications offer the best chance for good control.

Immunotherapy, or allergy shots, provide the only treatment method that can offer lasting relief or cure from allergies. Before beginning a series of such shots, allergy testing must be performed

Hay fever is caused by pollens. The most significant cause of hay fever in the United States is ragweed. It begins pollinating in late August and continues until the first frost. Late springtime pollens come from the grasses, i.e., timothy, orchard, red top, sweet vernal, Bermuda, Johnson, and some bluegrasses. Early springtime hay fever is most often caused by pollens of trees such as elm, maple, birch, poplar, beech, ash, oak, walnut, sycamore, cypress, hickory, pecan, cottonwood, and alder.

Certain allergens are always present. These include house dust, household pet danders, foods, wool, various chemicals used around the house, and more. Symptoms from these are frequently worse in the winter when the house is closed up. Mold spores cause at least as many allergy problems as pollens.

Molds are present all year long, and grow outdoors and indoors. Dead leaves and farm areas are common sources for outdoor molds. Indoor plants, old books, bathrooms, and damp areas are common sources of indoor mold growth. Molds are also common in foods, such as cheese and fermented beverages.

Colorful or fragrant flowering plants rarely cause allergy because their pollens are too heavy to be airborne.

Treatment And Prevention
A number of medications are useful in the treatment of allergy including antihistamine, nasal decongestant sprays, steroid sprays, and saline sprays. The medical management of allergy also includes counseling in proper environmental control. Based on a detailed history and thorough examination, your doctor may advise testing to determine the specific substances to which you are allergic.

Hay fever is caused by an excessive amount of pollen in the air which generally only happens in the Spring/Summer time, you probably just have a cold!

it's possible to have hay fever in winter if there are flowers with pollen outside

Answer 7

I have the same thing and it is a cold virus. It should clear in a couple of days. Honey is good to take for the tickle.

You can still exercise with this, it will help boost your immune system.

Hope it has cleared for Christmas Day,
Take care and Happy Christmas!

Answer 8

Absolutely nothing to do with hayfever - there is a virus doing the rounds at the moment causing sore throats, build up of phlegm/cattarh and general feeling of being unwell similar to a heavy cold.

Everyone I know has it at the moment - hot lemon & honey drinks - ease it - try local honey not the mass produced stuff -

Answer 9

My brother had it a few days ago, you can exercise, it won't do anything but it won't help you get any better, I think you should have lots of rest - watch t.v, sleep and read! Hope you feel better soon!
