ds1 primary school was chokkas with melauca trees and most notably outside his classroom (these are spread out single story) as it warmed up it blew straight into the classrooms, some days were worse than others and I'd be called up to sick bay as he'd have the runny nose watery eyes and ..... he's ended up with 2 whole weeks over the year off school, and not all tablets would work and you couldn't always pick the bad days. He is also allergic to a type of grass (most lawns here) seed so sport was fun LOL ... and chlorine from pools sets it off as well.
You either have asthma or allergies. ds2 has the asthma and ds1 has the allergies and I got the eczema which is also related (don't ask me how but it's documented) and all are hereditary.
I was told for pollens to see if you can buy very local honey. Slowly introduce that honey each day and it will eventually make you less alergic or cure you, but no local honey I could find in this area.
My DH works with a guy who used to suffer really bad with allergies until they bought a house and land next to a place that farmed bees and made honey. (Not sure what you call it but they had bees on the land and made their own honey and sold it). The guy that suffered with allergies said that within a yr., his allergies were gone and the locals all told him it was because of the bees and the honey. I'd never heard of that before we talked to him.

How much honey do you have to eat for it to help you?
Small doses like when you're weaning a baby is what I'd heard, start small and work up by week or so and see how it affects you.
Nice to know it does work
