Hayfever

[Sarak7]

Hey guys...


I've had the worst hayfever of my life the past few weeks
it's taking over and decides to hit me really bad at 3am every morning :confused: :thumbsdown: i'm losing sleep and feeling like a zombie throughout the day..

Does anyone know what i can take for it that is safe to use throughout pregnancy?

I have used rhinocort the prescription one though not over the counter and it helps but is something you have to continually take as it takes a few days to kick in so it prevents you getting hayfever rather than treating once you have it. It is not cheap though is $75 and last 3months but is cheaper with a hbf card or health care card. It is safe to take in pregnancy as i took it with my first preg and i am again as i kept getting hit with hayfever as well. Worth the money

My doc's advice was to stuff a tissue up each nostril for the duration :gloomy:

I know how you feel, i have suffered with it now for about 7 weeks and my doc advised me to take nothing for it!!!

I went to my chemist and she gave me Garlic, horseradish and vit.C tablets..all natural, itake 6 a day but they seem to help!

Its notas good as taking a nice strong dose of drugs LOL but its all natural and Im feeling like myself again, well almost!

Try it and hopefully it will help!

:hugs: sxx

Brauer has a homeopathic range (found at most Chemist's) and their Hayfever Relief I find works really well.
They are basically little sugar tablets that you put under your tongue, just another alternative to medication.

First my DD, I used Polaramine. OB told me one thing, but when I went to the chemist, they said I could take it, and it was lots cheeper. I know I found some pharmicists really rude about it when I asked... they were obviously not hayfever sufferers.

Another alternative treatment that i've used and found to work really well is a product called "Quercitone" by a company called Bioceuticals. This combined with Vitamin C is really effective although it's not an instant relief - it will take about 2 weeks to really start working. You won't find it in any old chemist though so you'll need to see a naturopath or a healthfood shop with a naturopath who has these products.
