A 13-year-old girl attends a general practice in the first week of September. Every year from the first week of October until Christmas she has a blocked, itchy nose, sneezing and itchy watery eyes; she sleeps badly and drops out of school sport. Skin prick testing last year was strongly positive to rye grass. A less-sedating oral antihistamine taken during the season helps her sneezing but not the blockage. She has no asthma, and her nose is completely clear today. Which one of the following treatment plans should she be given for the coming season?
