Sarah is expecting her second child in the autumn and is struggling to cope with her hayfever now that spring is here. Her daughter, who is 18 months old, is suffering similar symptoms - but she has been reluctant to administer any OTC products to her as she still seems so young. She fears that spending time in the garden will soon become impossible for them as the pollen count rises.

First and foremost, let Sarah know that you understand her concerns, which are completely legitimate. Pregnancy can be a worrying time, with many women often confused about what they can take without risk to their unborn child. Reassure her that it's always best to ask questions before using any product, so she's come to the right place. Likewise, Sarah is sensible to consider all the options available to her daughter in tackling her hay fever.

What would be your initial recommendation?

For fast, effective relief to Sarah's hay fever symptoms recommend Stérimar Stop & Protect Allergy Response (suitable from three years of age). For her daughter's hayfever symptoms, recommend Stérimar Nasal Hygiene for ongoing use (suitable from three months of age).

What other advice would you offer?

Make sure Sarah is aware that she can use Stérimar Nasal Hygiene on an ongoing basis. Remind her that Stérimar can be used by the whole family for a range of nasal conditions, not just hay fever. Take the time to suggest some further self help measures that Sarah can adopt - such as steering clear of the garden in the early morning and evening when the pollen count is at its highest.
