Will hay fever go away?

Hay fever can be recognized by various complaints, such as sneezing, itchy eyes, but also by mouth, throat and lung complaints. Can you grow out of those complaints as you get older?

Reduce complaints
If you suffer from hay fever, there are several medicines that the doctor can prescribe. They will almost never completely solve the complaints, but they can reduce the complaints

Prospects of hay fever
Like other allergies, hay fever builds up slowly. The symptoms usually start before you are in your mid-20s. Once you have hay fever, you will probably suffer from it every year. From the age of 40, the complaints diminish. Eventually you can even outgrow your hay fever.
