What is Hay Fever?

Hay fever, also known as seasonal allergic rhinitis, occurs when your immune system reacts to pollen as though it’s a threat. This reaction produces uncomfortable symptoms like:

Sneezing and coughing
A runny or blocked nose
Itchy, red, or watery eyes
Sinus congestion and headaches
Fatigue and feeling unwell

For many in Oxford, the high pollen count during spring and summer can significantly disrupt their work, sleep, and outdoor activities. If you’ve tried over-the-counter remedies without success, we provide reliable and lasting solutions at our Oxford clinic.

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.

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.
