Hay fever Consultation

Relieving the symptoms of seasonal allergies

How do you treat Hay fever?

Hay fever Injections otherwise known as Kenalog are available to help relieve the symptoms of seasonal allergies.

Seasonal allergies are caused by an allergic reaction to pollen. Which is why it typically appears during the spring and summer months. Therefore it can be an allergy to one type or many types of pollen. And is almost impossible to determine what the exact trigger is.

First line to treatment, patients are advised to try over the counter medications such as Piriton. If this fails to alleviate symptoms and they are causing distress, then medical intervention is possible with Kenalog injections.
 
Hay fever is otherwise known as seasonal allergic rhinitis. Symptoms are sneezing, runny nose and eyes and sometimes generally feeling unwell.
 
A Kenalog injection helps many people with their symptoms of severe hay-fever. For many people it completely relieves the symptoms for the entire season and for others it reduces the severity of the symptoms to a point where adding other treatments can allow life as normal.

What is Kenalog?

Kenalog IM injection is a prescribed steroid medicine. Used for many different medical conditions including serious illnesses. Belonging to a group of medicines called corticosteroid. These corticosteroids occur naturally in the human body and help maintain health and wellbeing.  Boosting your body with extra corticosteroid such as Kenalog is an effective way to treat many health conditions.
 
Commonly used for allergic reactions such as hay fever, joint problems, inflammatory disorders and many more.
 
For Hay fever, the effects will be between 6 weeks and 6 months. Depending entirely what you are allergic to and how long the pollen is around for.
 
Treatment is by injection into the buttock.
