If you're one of the millions of people in the UK who suffer from hayfever, you'll know how disruptive and exhausting the symptoms can be—especially during peak pollen season. At our newly opened Private Medical Clinic in Oxford, we're seeing an increasing number of patients seeking fast and effective relief. One of the most popular options? The Kenalog hayfever injection.

So, should you consider getting a hayfever injection in Oxford this summer? Let's explore what the treatment involves, how it works, and whether it might be right for you.

What Is Hay Fever and Why Is It So Debilitating?

Hay Fever, or allergic rhinitis, is an allergic response to pollen that causes symptoms such as:

  • Sneezing
  • Runny or blocked nose
  • Itchy, red, or watery eyes
  • Fatigue
  • Headaches
  • Breathing difficulties in more severe cases

For many people, over-the-counter antihistamines, nasal sprays, and eye drops offer some relief—but when these treatments fall short, it's time to consider a more effective solution.

What Is the Kenalog Injection for Hayfever?

The Kenalog injection is a corticosteroid treatment that helps reduce the body's allergic response to pollen. It's delivered as a single intramuscular injection and can offer relief for up to 3 months, covering the worst of the summer allergy season.

At our Oxford hayfever clinic, we administer Kenalog injections for hayfever to suitable patients looking for longer-lasting symptom control. This option is particularly popular with people whose quality of life is significantly affected, especially when standard treatments have failed.

Who Is the Hayfever Injection Suitable For?

Kenalog is not for everyone—it's generally recommended for individuals who:

  • Suffer from severe or persistent hay fever symptoms
  • Have not responded well to standard antihistamines or sprays
  • Experience hay fever-related asthma or breathing issues
  • Require reliable symptom relief for travel, exams, or outdoor work

Before administering the injection, our clinicians will conduct a thorough consultation to ensure the treatment is safe and appropriate for you.

Where Can I Get the Hayfever Injection in Oxford?

If you're wondering “where can I get the hayfever injection in Oxford?”, we've got you covered. At Private Medical Clinic's new Oxford location, we now offer:

What Are the Benefits of Kenalog for Hayfever?

Patients receiving Kenalog injections for hayfever often report:

  • Near-complete relief from sneezing, congestion, and watery eyes
  • Improved sleep and energy levels
  • Ability to enjoy outdoor activities again
  • Reduction in use of other medications

Unlike daily antihistamines, the injection is low-maintenance, meaning no need to remember pills or sprays—it works continuously throughout the pollen season.
