edd_t Posted May 3, 2007 Share Posted May 3, 2007 Annual Hay Fever thread I'm guessing Last year was the first year I got it, but it wasnt too bad. This year its back. I have an itchy throat, stuff nose, and my inner ears feel weird too! How do people cope with it? What do you use? My brother gets 'Honey Cappings' which he says works brilliantly, but it looks disgusting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

michael Posted May 3, 2007 Share Posted May 3, 2007 I've posted this a few times so I'm reposting I guess but all the same... It's often worth asking chemists for generic tablets rather than the branded stuff - huge savings to be had, especially if they will sell them on weight rather than in packs. Zirtec and Benadryl are Cetirizine Hydrochloride Claritin is Loratadine Last year I think I managed to pick up packs of Loratadine for under £1.00 compared with £4.00 for Claritin, you can also find the generic stuff in Supermarkets these days, often on offer or just cheap to begin with.

Supragal Posted May 3, 2007 Share Posted May 3, 2007 I was told last year that I might have hayfever so I had to buy some of the stupid pills. Still don't know if they worked but the own brand ones were SO much cheaper as Michael says. The honey remedy... someone explained this to me but I forget. Are you mean to eaat honey from where you were born or from where you are currently living? It was one or the other. Latter makes more sense but doesn't help if you go on holiday much I guess.
