Can hay fever cause eye discharge or crusting?

Yes, hay fever can cause eye discharge or crusting. This occurs because hay fever often leads to inflammation and irritation of the eyes, which can result in excess mucus production. As a result, people may notice discharge or crusting around the eyes.

Key points:

• Hay fever triggers allergic reactions in the body.
• Eye irritation can lead to increased mucus production.
• Discharge may occur as a response to inflammation.
• Crusting can develop from dried mucus around the eyes.
