Hay fever can cause a range of symptoms, from a runny nose to swollen skin under the eyes. Consultant ophthalmologist Mr Alex Day has provided some key advice to help people effectively manage hay fever symptoms. Minimise outdoor exposure during peak pollen season: If you have hay fever, staying indoors during peak pollen times can help. "Pollen levels tend to be highest during mid-morning and early evening," Mr Day says. "Where possible, limit outdoor activities during these times to reduce exposure to allergens."
