Use a spoon of honey instead of sugar or sugar sub in your coffee or cereal. It will take a season but if you do it regularly you will find that the hayfever will all but go away. If you don't believe it then try it for a couple years then quit and see what it does. Something about the pollen used by bees building a resistance for you. Two or three times a day will jump start it for you then just once a day or so.
I've heard this works, but I heard you need to try to find honey that was produced by bees as close as possible to where you live. Another thing to consider is allergy testing and then get the shots .
If you have a medical plan that covers the expense so much the better. I got shots in the late 60's/early 70's when I was still a kid and they didn't help much. Technology has changed so much that now they can dial right into the specific needs and produce a custom serum that kicks serious butt. I've been on the shots again for about 5 years now, and they've changed my life in the spring and fall, and let's face it... that's the best time to be out riding.
I do the local honey thing. I get it from a family owned meat market. I asked how local the honey was and the guy said his neighbor had bee hives in his backyard. That was about 1 mile from the grocery store. Pretty local.
Forget about the medicines. Find yourself an acupunturist. They can take care of allergies/hayfever/etc. in short order. I go to one regularly.
