Take the test now!Sneezing is a common symptom of hayfever. When pollen enters the nasal passages, the body automatically attempts to get rid of it by sneezing.
That being said, pollen is not the only thing that triggers the response. Other common allergens including animal dander, mould spores and dust mites could also be causing the problem. It is worth thinking about whether or not you have recently come into contact with any of these things.
I would say that hayfever sufferers usually experience additional symptoms like a sore throat and itchy skin. If you have experienced these too then it is very likely an allergy is to blame.
It is fairly common for allergies to develop in adulthood so you shouldn't be too alarmed if symptoms have only recently become problematic.
I would leave it a week or so to see if symptoms improve and, if not, you could try a gentle remedy such as Pollinosan Hayfever Tablets to help combat the likes of sneezing.
