SIGNS YOU ARE SUFFERING FROM HAY FEVER & WHAT TO DO ABOUT IT

However, not everyone is aware that they have allergies and when they are, they don't know what to do about them.
Allergies interfere with the quality of life and can really affect your ability to focus[1]. Most of the time allergies will affect your ears, nose and throat[2] and can be prevented with the help of an ear, nose and throat doctor.
An ear, nose and throat doctor (also called an ENT doctor, an otorhinolaryngologist or an otolaryngologist) is a healthcare professional who specializes in treating your sinuses and glands, particularly in your ears, nose and throat.
