What is Hay Fever?

Hay fever (also known as seasonal allergic rhinitis) is your body’s overreaction to pollen. While pollen isn’t harmful, your immune system may treat it as a threat, triggering symptoms such as:
  • Sneezing and coughing
  • A runny or blocked nose
  • Itchy, red, or watery eyes
  • Sinus congestion and headaches
  • Fatigue and feeling generally unwell
These symptoms can make daily life miserable, affecting your sleep, work, and outdoor activities. If you suffer from severe hay fever, a hay fever injection could provide much-needed relief.

What is the Hayfever Injection?

The hayfever jab is a corticosteroid injection that helps suppress your immune system’s reaction to pollen. It is administered as a deep intramuscular injection, usually into the buttock. This treatment is only recommended for people with severe symptoms who have tried other remedies without success.

How Does the Hayfever Jab Work?

Once administered, the hayfever jab gradually releases the medication into your system over time, reducing inflammation and allergic responses. Most patients notice relief within 48 hours, with some experiencing the full effects within 10 days. The results typically last for up to 3 months, covering the entire hay fever season.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I take other hay fever treatments alongside the injection?

Yes! While the injection provides long-term relief, you can still use antihistamines, nasal sprays, and eye drops if needed.

Is the hay fever injection safe?

The hayfever jab is generally safe but may cause mild side effects like soreness at the injection site, headaches, or temporary sleep disturbances. Our GPs will discuss any risks before administering the injection.

When is the best time to get the hay fever shot?

For the best results, aim to get your hayfever treatment in March or early April before pollen levels rise.

Do I need a second dose?

Most patients only need one dose per season. However, in rare cases, a second dose may be recommended at least 14 days after the first.

How long does the hayfever injection last?
The hay fever jab can provide relief for up to 3 months, covering the worst of the pollen season.
How effective are hay fever treatments?
Private hay fever treatment is highly effective in alleviating symptoms of severe hay fever for many individuals. It has the potential to provide complete relief from symptoms throughout the entire hay fever season for some people, while for others, it can significantly reduce the severity of symptoms. In such cases, combining the private treatment with other therapies allows individuals to carry on with their daily lives as usual.
Where is the hay fever shot administered?
The injection is given intramuscularly into the buttock for best absorption and minimal discomfort.
