I’m a doctor and here are four ways to get your hay fever under control WITHOUT taking medication, including a household cleaning tip
A doctor has revealed the three ways hay fever sufferers can fight hay fever without using drugs.
Dr. Sooj, who lives in the UK, increased TikTok to share his tips online in a video that has been viewed nearly 90,000 times.
The NHS doctor often makes health-related videos, such as speaking about the symptoms of melanoma, foods to avoid during pregnancy and carbon monoxide poisoning.
Discussing the ‘pollen bomb’ that has hit the UK, he said: ‘As we approach the summer months here are five things you can do to improve your hay fever symptoms and the last one (tip) really helped me.
“First off, put Vaseline around your nostrils and just below your eyes to try and catch some pollen.”

The doctor, who is also a YouTube channel, and then moved on to his second tip, which is to wear wraparound sunglasses, as this prevents pollen from getting into your eyes and irritating your eyes.
Dr. Sooj continued by saying, “Three, keep your windows and doors closed as much as possible.”
The fourth piece of advice was to regularly vacuum and dust your home with a damp cloth.
The medic then moved on to his last point of fighting hay fever without medication.
“Finally, buy a pollen filter for the air vents in your car.”
Users took to the comments to talk about his tips and even shared their own.
One person said, ‘Wouldn’t catching the pollen trigger symptoms and keep it with you. Doesn’t seem like a good idea to me.’
But Dr. Sooj replied, “It helps prevent pollen from getting into your eyes and causing symptoms.”

Another wrote: “Cut out dairy because it’s an expectorant food, studies have shown,” but the doctor neither confirmed nor denied this.
In a second video, the medic talked about what not to do if you have hay fever, including mowing grass or even walking on grass.
He also said, “Don’t keep fresh flowers in the house. Do not smoke or be around smoke as it can make your symptoms worse.
‘Don’t dry your clothes outside, because pollen can get in there.
“And finally, if possible, don’t let pets in the house, as they can bring in pollen.”
Earlier this week, another NHS doctor, Dr Karan Rajan, also made a video claiming that most people misuse their hay fever nasal sprays.

Dr. Karan Rajan took to TikTok to reveal the most effective hay fever remedies as well as the best way to use nasal spray
He said, “If you’re using a nasal spray, don’t aim for your brain. Point sideways at your ears.
“This way it parallels your sinuses, which is where the medication has to go.”
‘Don’t inhale because then the medicine will end up in your throat and it won’t work’.
“But you have to do that too,” he adds.
