What is the link between Hayfever and Asthma?
Asthma and hayfever (allergic rhinitis) are closely connected - around 4 out of 5 people with asthma have allergic rhinitis. The cells lining the nasal passages are the same type found lining the airways of the lungs. The nose is considered the 'gatekeeper' to the lungs, so anything that causes inflammation in the nose can cause inflammation in the lungs and vice versa.
Having effective treatment for both the nose and lungs, and being well-informed and prepared for the start of spring can make dealing with these seasonal conditions a lot more manageable.
