Spring is here — and so is hay fever season! 🤧

As the flowers bloom across the Alpine region, so do the sneezes, sniffles and itchy eyes that come with hay fever (seasonal allergic rhinitis).

Common symptoms:
🌸 Sneezing and a runny or blocked nose
🌸 Itchy or watery eyes
🌸 Scratchy throat, ears or roof of mouth
🌸 Fatigue or poor sleep

If you’re relying on antihistamines daily or your symptoms are still bothering you, it might be time to chat with your GP.

Your doctor can:
✅ Identify your allergy triggers
✅ Recommend the most effective medication
✅ Discuss nasal sprays, antihistamines or prescription options
✅ Arrange allergy testing if needed

Don’t let hay fever stop you from enjoying springtime in the High Country 🌷
Book an appointment with our friendly team today.
