Full transcript
You mentioned your eyes are itchy and you've been sneezing constantly all week — let's find something that helps you feel better.
Ja, sinds maandag heb ik voortdurend last van jeukende ogen en nies ik wel tien keer per uur. Ik moet elke dag naar mijn werk rijden en maak me zorgen dat het erger wordt door al dit stuifmeel.
I'd recommend a newer antihistamine tablet — Chemist Warehouse stocks a non-drowsy brand that's suitable for daily use throughout the pollen season this spring.
Kan ik gewoon autorijden met deze tabletten, of worden ze me suf? Ik moet namelijk elke ochtend om zeven uur de weg op.
This particular tablet won't make you drowsy, so you can drive safely to work — even at seven in the morning.
Mooi, dat scheelt. Hoeveel tabletten mag ik per dag nemen, en kan ik ze combineren met mijn bloeddrukmedicijnen?
Take just one tablet each morning — don't exceed that dose, and it's fine alongside most blood pressure medications, but check with your GP if unsure.
Oké, dat doe ik. Hoe lang moet ik dit gebruiken? En mijn vrouw is zwanger, kan zij dit ook nemen?
You can use it throughout spring, roughly six weeks, but if symptoms don't improve within two weeks, see your GP; pregnant women should ask their doctor first.
Prima. Wat kan ik doen voor die jeukende ogen? Is er ook een neusspray die ik erbij kan gebruiken?
Yes — antihistamine eye drops work well for the itching, and a saline nasal spray is fine too, but remove contact lenses before using the drops.
Dank u wel, dat is heel duidelijk. Ik neem de tabletten, de oogdruppels en de neusspray mee.
