Hay fever is seasonal allergic rhinitis, specifically it is an allergic reaction to pollen.
Hay fever occurs when pollen comes into contact with your mouth, nose, eyes or throat, causing cold-like symptoms. These symptoms of allergic rhinitis can include, but are not limited to, sneezing, itchiness and a blocked or runny nose.
Hay fever is the result of an allergic reaction to pollen. Pollen is a fine powder that comes from plants. Different types of pollen are released throughout the course of the year, affecting sufferers in various ways.
When these tiny particles come into make contact with the cells that line your mouth, nose, eyes and throat, they irritate them and trigger an allergic reaction.
The most common symptoms of hay fever are;

Hay fever treatment works by temporarily suppressing the body’s immune response, for long enough to relieve symptoms. The steroid will slowly leak into the bloodstream over the course of three weeks, the effects of which can last up to 6 months.
At Allergy Relief Clinic, all patients will undergo a complementary face-to-face consultation with one of our clinicians, prior to the hayfever treatment.

Pollen peaks predominately during March to September, getting the treatment ahead of time is beneficial for suppressing the inflammatory cell response before they are provoked.
The treatment can be an effective relief of hayfever symptoms for up to 6 months.
Hayfever treatment starts at £50 for a 40mg dose and £75 for an 80mg dose. There is no additional charge for consultation, which is included in the treatment package.
Steroids can exacerbate some existing medical conditions including diabetes and those sufferings with infections. If you’re thinking about getting hay fever treatment, we offer a free consultation with one of our clinicians prior to treatment. This measure is put in place to help you make an informed decision about whether the treatment is suited to you.
The hay fever treatment is most effective and works best when treatment is started ahead of hay fever season, in order to allow time for the cells to suppress the chemicals that trigger inflammation.
Pollen season begins in the month of March and continues long into September; however, this is not to say the treatment would be less effective whilst allergy season has already commenced. We recommend seeking treatment as soon as you begin to experience symptoms, as different pollen types continue to peak throughout the season.
Different spores and pollen types are released throughout the year, so there are constant peaks throughout the season.
