ummer’s arrived, and for 16 million people across the UK that means the return of a runny nose, itchy, watering eyes, headaches and sleepless nights – symptoms that are part and parcel of being a hay fever sufferer. The allergy is mainly caused by grass pollen. It peaks on hot, dry, windy days when the pollen is carried on the breeze, which can make typical summer pursuits, such as a picnic, barbecue or a school sport’s day, miserable. As with most allergies, the best way to control hay fever is to avoid the triggers. However, as pollen can cling to clothes, hair and fur, as well as find its way into your home, it can be difficult to avoid. Thankfully, there’s a huge range of products available both in store or online that can help you manage the symptoms, leaving you free to get on with more enjoyable things.
Otrivine Nasal Spray A sneezy, runny nose can be irritating when you’re trying to get on with your day.

It contains the active ingredient xylometazoline hydrochloride that helps to open up and clear nasal passages by reducing mucus and returning swollen blood vessels to their normal size, bringing easy breathing relief.
