For really nasty hayfever that some pollen causes, and for when things are really bad, there is always the old faithfull and original and best and cheapest - Polaramine pills. But it makes one very drowsy, so I only take it before going to bed and use the less effective non-drowsy antihistamine pills during the day time.
Polaramine has another extremely good use, namely as an alternative to antihistamine creams which one can't buy in Australia anymore.
If you are bitten by a wasp, bee or bull-ant, simply crush a pill and mix it with kitchen food oil and apply to the bite area. The pain goes away in half an hour, instead lasting for days.
Alternatively, buy the liquid Polaramine Infants bottle and apply that to the bite area.
I once had the misfortune of a stingray slicing my foot leaving blood pumping out in big squirts everywhere. After going to the hospital, my foot was very painful for three days till I remembered Polaramine. I took a pill, and the pain instantly disappeared entirely.
Regards,
Renato
