Hay Fever Injections & Treatments | Private Medical Clinic

What is Hay Fever?

Hay fever, also known as allergic rhinitis, is a common allergic reaction to pollen, dust, or other allergens in the air. Hay fever typically occurs seasonally when specific plants release their pollen into the air, but it can also persist throughout the year if triggered by indoor allergens. Symptoms include sneezing, runny or blocked nose, itchy and watery eyes, and itchiness in the throat, nose, and ears.

What is the Hay Fever Injection?

A final option treatment we may offer is the hay fever injection, which contains a steroid to reduce inflammation and alleviate symptoms. It is important to note that Kenalog is not licensed for the treatment of hayfever in the UK, and therefore requires a thorough assessment with a doctor. This treatment is also not suitable for individuals with mild hay fever symptoms. It may weaken the immune system, making patients more vulnerable to other infections, such as flu, chickenpox, and shingles. Additionally, these injections may result in potential side effects.

The hay fever injection is not suitable for everyone, and our doctors will thoroughly assess your medical history and current health status before recommending this treatment.
