Hayfever is a very common condition that affects 1 in every 5 people in the UK. It is caused by an allergy to airborne substances such as grass or hay pollen, which affects the upper respiratory passages e.g., nose, sinus, throat and eyes.

Does hayfever make you sick?

It can do, because sometimes the catarrh runs down the back of your throat from your nose (post-nasal drip). Sometimes, you may swallow it rather than cough it up. If this happens, it can irritate your stomach and cause nausea (feeling sick). And, hayfever can cause a general sense of feeling unwell, which may also cause nausea.
