Hey, yeah, so start it now, people.

Sorry, tree pollen people.

So then your antihistamine tablets are, so when you say second generation, these are the non-drowsy ones.

So cetirizine is the most common one.

I would say fexofenadine is the best one.

So if you could ask for that, you can get that over the counter.

You can get it at a higher dose from your doctors, but a reasonable dose from over the counter.

Fexofenadine.

Yes.

F-E-X-O, Phexofenadine.

A-D-I-N-E.

Right.

So that you take every day.

Again, don't wait for your symptoms to get worse later in the day.

Take it first thing in the morning.

If you've got eye symptoms like runny eyes, you can get something called sodium chromoglycate drops from the pharmacist.

Just ask for hay fever drops and they will help with your runny eye symptoms as well.

The things that you just said there, you know, Vaseline or stuff like that around your nostrils helps trap pollen.

Sunglasses stops pollen getting into your eyes as well.

And then all the stuff that Monica is doing already by not putting a washing out.
