Hay Fever Anyone?

[Tilly2]

Anyone with hay fever at the moment?

I can't decide whether I have a cold or hayfever. Is it the season yet?

[woofgang]

yup sidusidis

The pollen forecast is currently 'Low' in Scotland, northern England and Wales. It's 'High' in south-east England and East Anglia and 'Medium' elsewhere in England.

Yes, my eyes always start to get sore in March (tree pollen I think)

[Tilly2]

Thanks, Chris.

Time for an antihistamine I think...if it is hayfever.

[-SharonA-]

I suffer badly, but it has not hit me yet.

[Tilly2]

I haven't had hayfever for a couple of years. This could be a cold. I'm going to treat both. Lemsips and antihistamines. That should do it.

[woofgang]

Tilly check what is in the lemsip, I think they have decongestant in which may be overload with the antihistamine

[Tilly2]

Paracetamol and Phenylephrine hydrochloride, Woof.

Will that be an overload with cetirizine?

Started sneezing last week on rising Tilly, Aldi antihistamines!

[Tilly2]

What's the active ingredient of the Aldi ones, Eleena?

[Eleena]

Hang on ...

[Eleena]

10mg loratidine & lactose Tilly.

[Eleena]

Loratadine

[Tilly2]

Thank you, Eleena. Loratidine doesn't work for me. Thanks anyway.

[Eleena]

Ah ok x

[Tilly2]

Loratadine :-)

[Tilly2]

Actually, I take chlorophenamine not cetirizine. All these antihistamines are very confusing.

I've decided I've got a cold.

[Old_Geezer]

It'll depend on, to which pollens you react badly.

[ummmm]

I started to think I was allergic to my cat :-D

[Smowball]

Mine started last week - eyes and nose streaming and sneezing like a lunatic!
