In the piece, health journalist Jane Hoskyn explores the most reliable, and most overhyped, hay fever treatments on the market.

Dr Benjamin Chun-Man Lee on What Actually Works for Hay Fever and Allergies
In the article, The Guardian addresses the growing frustrations of seasonal allergy sufferers and highlights the limitations of over-the-counter treatments. Dr Benjamin Chun-Man Lee explains that many high-street remedies are no longer sufficient:
“Most over-the-counter sprays and antihistamines are no longer sufficient because the environment and pollen load are changing.”
With rising pollen counts and pollution levels contributing to more persistent symptoms, Dr Chun-Man Lee advocates for a more personalised, specialist-led approach.
