What is Hay Fever?
Hay fever, also known as seasonal allergic rhinitis, is your body's overreaction to pollen. While pollen is not harmful, your immune system treats it as a threat.
Hay fever affects millions of people in the UK, with symptoms typically worst between March and September when pollen counts are high. For some, symptoms are mild and manageable with over-the-counter remedies. For others, severe hay fever can affect sleep, work, and outdoor activities.
If you suffer from severe hay fever that disrupts daily life, and antihistamines, eye drops, and nasal sprays have not worked well enough, a GP can assess whether further treatment options may be appropriate.
Common Symptoms
- Sneezing and coughing
- Itchy, watery eyes
- Runny or blocked nose
- Sinus congestion
- Headaches
- Fatigue and feeling unwell
What is the Hayfever Injection?
The hayfever injection is a corticosteroid treatment that may help reduce the immune system's reaction to pollen. It is only considered after a GP assessment.
How It Works
The injection contains a steroid that helps reduce inflammation and allergic responses. It is given by deep intramuscular injection and gradually releases medication into your system.
Fast and Long-Lasting
Some patients notice improvement within a few days, with the effect potentially lasting for several weeks or up to 3 months. Response varies from person to person.
Who Is It For?
This treatment is only recommended for people with severe symptoms who have tried other treatments without success. It is not a first-line treatment.
