Hayfever suffer

Hi well it is exactly 2 weeks until we arrive so getting last minute things done when I had a thought my daughter suffers from hayfever over here will she need her medication in New York?

Sorry if it sounds like a daft question but never been there went to Mexico in December and she was okay there but someone mentioned she may need it in New York.

Many thanks

It%26#39;s not a silly question, and I would bring the medication just in case as the weather conditions / pollen count is changeable, not to mention the air quality. New York City can also be very very humid in the summer, which for some can contribute to allergies.

I%26#39;m not sure how accurate they always are, but here is a link to a local news station that lists pollen counts daily:

Bottom line, I highly reccommend bringing the medication along.

Hope you have a great trip!

Hi thanks will bring medication and eyedrops just in case.

I am sure I can buy some if I need to as well.

Thanks again

Over here Claritin can be purchased over the counter. It is a good, non-sedative med that you might ask her physician about to see if it would be a good solution to her allergies. It works for me. Have a great visit.

Hi thanks I was thinking of buying it there she is 12 so should not be a problem I will check with our GP first. It is mostly itchy eyes with her I have checked the pollen count for NY and it is quite high so best be safe.

13 days to go getting very excited and it is still a secret for all the girls!!

When you get to NYC, go to a Duane Reade drug store. There is one every few blocks.

I think hayfever affects people in different ways. Since we%26#39;ve moved to the DC Metro area, my husband and I sneeze a lot during the warmer weather. However, when we%26#39;re in the Northeast (Boston, NYC) we rarely sneeze. I think--my opinion only--that there are less pollen problems there. Still, I agree with the others, it can%26#39;t hurt to bring along her medication.

Hiya thanks we will be staying at The Salisbury Hotel and I believe there is a chemist (drugstore) quite close so if she runs out I will just pop in there.

Thanks again
