Hayfever HELP & ADVICE!? :(?

I am a sufferer of hayfever, and have suffered it since I was about 6, and am now in my mid-teenage years. I suffer from hayfever, not tree pollen, flower pollen, in the month of June+. Daily, I take medicine in the morning, put vasaline around my nostrils, eat a teaspoon of honey each morning, yet my symptoms are still really bad. Here are my questions:


-Will I have hayfever for the rest of my life, or could I grow out of it?


-Is there anything I could do also that would help me with my symptoms?


-What can I do to help stop my symptoms: itchy eyes, runny nose, blocked nose, itchy throat?


Thanks for any answers!Hayfever HELP %26amp; ADVICE!? :(?
-Symptoms of hay fever usually begin before age 30. They peak during childhood and adolescence, and sometimes begin to fade when you reach adulthood.


- To deal with symptoms of hay fever, try to stay inside as much as possible during the season when your hay fever is worst. Keep your windows closed and minimized activities that would expose you to pollen. Take a shower and wash your hair before going to bed to wash out all of the pollen that could have potentially gotten in your hair. Also, do not line dry your clothes outside, as they will come in covered in pollen which will upset your hay fever.





If your symptoms are causing you severe discomfort, you should visit an allergist who may be able to prescribe something to help you survive the months where your hay fever is at its worst.
