Pollen allergy

If you are allergic to pollen, try local treatment first, with nasal spray and eye drops. It is also possible to take symptom-relieving allergy pills such as Zyrtec. If you do not experience sufficient control of your allergy with local treatment or pills, allergy vaccination can be a good alternative. Especially for those with allergies to grass and birch where the vaccine is also available in tablet form.
