"   Question How young can a child suffer from hay fever? My four-year-old son seems to have irritated eyes: they are sometimes slightly puffy, he blinks more heavily than usual and sometimes rubs them, although they are not red. His father suffers from allergy to grass and takes Opticrom and Beconase. Could my son have hay fever?    Answer Hay fever (allergy to pollens such as those from grasses, weeds and some trees) is rarely seen in chidren under the age of five, but it&amp;#039;s just possible that your son is one of the rare cases! If he is troubled by the symptoms you describe, it would be worth going along to see your GP. If the doctor thinks that your son may have hay fever, he or she could try treating him with medication such as an antihistamine syrup or allergy eyedrops.
