Hay fever

Ugh! I feel terrible these days. My nose is runny, mu eyes are itchy, and I can't stop sneezing.

 On no, it sounds like you have hey fever! It's common at this time of year.

Hay fever? What's that?

 During spring, there's a lot of pollen in the air. This can cause allergies.

 Well, many people wear masks and glasses or take medication to control symptoms.

Let me write that down. I'm going to go to the drugstore later.

pollen ポ-ﾚﾝ n)花粉

symptom シｨﾝﾌﾟﾀﾑ n)病気などの症状
