Around half of us get hay fever, with nearly a third having it so badly they need to alter their lifestyle to manage symptoms.
Allergic rhinitis - to use the proper name - is when you have an allergy to pollen. As such, spring and summer can be challenging as the pollen count starts to rise, with hay fever symptoms including sneezing, a stuffy nose, watery eyes and an itchy throat.
The condition usually starts when you’re a child or teenager, but many develop it in later life.
