Controlling Hay Fever in Little Ones

With this year expected to see a particularly severe pollen season, parents of young children will be keen to do all they can to help keep the dreaded symptoms of hay fever at bay. Hay fever is becoming increasingly common in the UK and often first develops in childhood. The unpleasant symptoms can unfortunately be especially distressing for young children, in addition to impacting on their school performance, increasing sleepiness, causing irritability and difficulty concentrating. Parents looking for non drowsy relief for their children's hay fever could benefit from the preventative NasalGuard AllergieBLOCK®.

 

NasalGuard AllergieBLOCK® is a drug free, preventative gel suitable for use by children. The odourless, non greasy and easy to apply formula gets to work trapping pollen once applied to the nose and upper lip. A slight electrostatic charge captures airborne allergens, including pollen, blocking them from entering the nose and helping to avoid a reaction in the first instance. NasalGuard AllergieBLOCK® can be found listed as an Allergy Friendly Product on the Allergy UK website.

 

Hay fever sufferer and mum of two Eileen Teo from Staffordshire, says; ''Both my son and I have been using AllergieBLOCK® for the past couple of years, so far it's really helped both of us as we sneeze much less when we use it and don't end up with red raw noses! It's also great to know that it's non drowsy, so I can still get on with day to day activities and my son can use it whilst at school.''  

 

NasalGuard AllergieBLOCK® is £11.99 for 150 applications and available at selected Boots, Superdrug & Sainsbury's stores and Alliance Pharmacies.  For more information on AllergieBLOCK or to watch a video demonstration, visit www.AllergieBlock.co.uk.
