HAY fever sufferers should start planning now about taking preventive medication which can drastically cut the misery of the allergy. People should start themselves on a nasal spray (flixotide or beconase) approximately two weeks before their hay fever usually begins so that they can prevent the build up of allergen sensitive cells on the nasal lining.
The spray should be used regularly, if necessary in conjunction with anti histamines, in the same way asthma sufferers combined steroid treatment with salbutamol (Ventolin).
