While spring brings the sunshine and warmer temperatures (hopefully), it can also be the start of hay fever season for many.

Doctor Zoe Williams has shared several tips for sufferers and encouraged people to act now, to stop them from suffering in the coming weeks.

Appearing on This Morning on Wednesday(10 April), Dr Williams said: “The commonest hayfever is actually allergies to grass pollen, and for people who have that allergy is unlikely to have started yet.

“It tends to start in May, but now is the time to start using whatever medication you use. You can prevent the chain reaction which is involved in hayfever.”

Baby alpaca born with "floppy ears" receives treatment to straighten them
A baby alpaca that was born with "floppy ears" has had treatment to straighten them out. The four-day old alpaca, who is currently unnamed, was born at Velvet Hall Alpacas with "floppy ears" - a rare and slight ear deformity that requires treatment with tape to reshape them. The practice does not harm the alpaca, and after two weeks of treatment with the makeshift splint, the tape will be removed and her ears will be pointing straight. Jean Macdonald, owner of Velvet Hall Alpacas in Innerleithen, Scotland, said that this is the first time she has seen the condition since purchasing their first alpaca in 2011. "Her ears have needed taped because they weren’t the right shape, so we have to tape them so they can grow into the right shape - but we've never had to do it before," said Jean.
