Hay Fever

The main symptoms include sneezing, runny nose, and nasal congestion, but other symptoms are also common:
• Eye-related discomfort such as itching, tearing, and redness
• Coughing, throat or skin itching
• Head heaviness, headache, fatigue, insomnia
• Digestive symptoms such as diarrhea
• A feeling of slight fever or facial flushing, irritability, or general malaise
Allergic rhinitis can cause a wide variety of systemic symptoms, affecting multiple parts of the body beyond the nose and eyes.

Diagnosis is based on:
• Medical interview — confirming whether symptoms occur seasonally (e.g., during pollen seasons) and include sneezing, runny nose, and nasal blockage.
• Blood test — measuring specific IgE antibodies to suspected pollen or allergens.
• Skin tests — may be performed together to confirm the cause.

▶ Cidacure®
This is a form of allergen immunotherapy that gradually trains the immune system by introducing small, controlled doses of the allergen (in this case, cedar pollen).
It aims to reduce allergic reactions over time by improving tolerance rather than simply suppressing symptoms.

Medications known as antiallergic drugs are used to block the action of substances responsible for allergy symptoms such as histamine and leukotrienes.
These can include oral medications, nasal sprays, or eye drops, used individually or in combination depending on symptom severity.
