Defeat Hay Fever: Understanding and Managing Symptoms in the UK

As the first day of spring rapidly approaches, so does the resurgence of Hay Fever. This common seasonal allergy impacts millions every year, leaving many unsure of how to effectively treat or alleviate their symptoms.

Hay Fever season kicks off in late March and extends all the way through to September. Tree Pollen tends to occur first, typically from late March to Mid-May, affecting 25% of people. This is followed by Grass pollen lingering from May through July. Finally, Weed pollen covers the end of June to September. With such a significant portion of the year affected by Hay Fever, it's crucial to be informed about relevant treatments and ways to relieve your symptoms. 

Hay Fever Symptoms

The symptoms of Hay Fever can range from mild to severe and may significantly impact daily life, the most common symptoms are;

  • Sneezing
  • Runny or blocked nose
  • Itchy throat, nose, and eyes
  • Watery eyes
  • Fatigue

In more severe cases symptoms can include headaches and hives. 

Treatments for Hay Fever

Fortunately, there is no need to suffer from Hay Fever symptoms with a range of effective treatment options readily available at our clinic, helping you combat the Hay Fever season with ease. 

We offer successful treatment options including Hay Fever injections, tablets, nasal sprays and eye drops. There is currently no cure for Hay Fever, but we offer incredible therapies that can ease symptoms when the pollen count is high.

Hay Fever Injections 

At our clinic we offer a free Hay Fever consultation to provide constructive advice, diagnosis, treatment options including Hay Fever injections, if suitable. The injection works to temporarily suppress the body’s immune response to the allergy and the dosage depends on the severity of symptoms and body weight. 

Following the injection many people experience profound relief in symptoms that last the entire season, making the day to day a lot easier! However, Hay Fever injections will only be recommended in select circumstances following thorough assessment by one of our GP’s and would only be considered as a final option.
