What are anti-hay fever injections?

Facts about anti-hay fever injections

Anti-hay fever injections are a type of treatment for severe hay fever. They work by suppressing the body's immune response to pollen, which is the allergen that causes hay fever symptoms.

The injections contain a steroid called triamcinolone, which is slowly released into the body over the course of several weeks. This helps to reduce inflammation and allergy symptoms, such as sneezing, runny nose, itchy eyes, and congestion.

Anti-hay fever injections are not usually recommended as a first-line treatment for hay fever. They are more likely to be for people who do not respond to other treatments, such as antihistamines, nasal sprays, or eye drops.

There are some risks associated with anti-hay fever injections, such as an increased risk of infection and side effects from the steroids. However, for people who suffer from severe hay fever, the benefits of these injections can outweigh the risks.

"An excellent local facility - I use it for both ear wax removal and hayfever injections - Ben is really great and I would definitely recommend him to all my friends and family."

Ellie, 5 Stars

"Could not recommend highly enough. Friendliness, process and price. Wish I done my hay fever jab years ago. Also checked my ears whilst I was there to see if I needed them done and was very helpful and honest as well and said it's not worth doing. Will be using them again for my hay fever and if my ears ever need doing as well. A+"
