Hay Fever

[Benfleet A1]

My boy hasn't been himself for about 2 weeks and I think it might be hay fever. He certainly has some of the symptoms, runny nose, red under the eyes and a dry cough. Any suggestions as to what I can safely give a 6 year old to give him a bit of relieve.

Don't give him anything until he's seen a doctor.

He saw one on friday who didn't pick up on anything. That's not a huge surprise with our surgery. I had a bloody great fat ball on the side of my neck and was told not to worry as it was just cosmetic. When it was finally removed the surgeon went ape that it had been left so long before I was refered so you can see my concern.

try "formula H" a homeopathic remedy from holland and barretts won't cure hay fever but will take the edge off the symptoms

Piriton as said above.

Fine for kids and the best there is for any allergy type issues.

My 7 year old takes half an adult antihistamine tablet daily and has no ill effects.
