Say Goodbye to Hayfever Symptoms with Expert Treatment at Ready Health Standish

Do you suffer from severe hayfever that disrupts your daily life? If antihistamines and other over-the-counter remedies don’t provide enough relief, you may be eligible for a hayfever injection, a treatment designed for those with persistent, severe symptoms.

At Ready Health Standish, we offer a range of safe and effective hayfever treatments, including steroid injections, to help you enjoy the summer without constant sneezing, itchy eyes, and congestion. Here’s everything you need to know before considering treatment.

What is Hayfever and Why Can It Be So Severe?

Hayfever, also known as seasonal allergic rhinitis, is caused by an allergic reaction to pollen. For many, it leads to:

✔ Persistent sneezing and runny nose
✔ Itchy, red, and watery eyes
✔ Blocked nose and sinus congestion
✔ Fatigue and poor sleep due to symptoms

While antihistamines, nasal sprays, and eye drops help many, some people experience severe symptoms that don’t respond to standard treatments. If this sounds familiar, you might benefit from a medical-grade hayfever treatment.

Hayfever Injection: A Solution for Severe Symptoms

A hayfever injection is a prescription-only corticosteroid treatment designed to reduce inflammation caused by an allergic response. It works by dampening the body’s overactive immune reaction to pollen, providing relief for several weeks or even months.

Benefits of the Hayfever Injection

✔ Long-lasting relief – One injection can provide relief for the entire hayfever season
✔ Reduces inflammation – Eases nasal congestion, eye irritation, and breathing difficulties
✔ Suitable for severe hayfever – Helps patients who find standard treatments ineffective

However, this injection is not suitable for everyone and is only available following a medical consultation with one of our healthcare professionals.

Are Hayfever Injections Safe? Understanding the Risks

While effective, corticosteroid injections come with potential risks. It is essential to understand these before considering treatment.

Possible Side Effects

⚠ Increased risk of infections – As steroids suppress the immune response, they may make you more prone to infections.
⚠ Changes in blood sugar levels – This may affect people with diabetes.
⚠ Temporary weight gain and fluid retention in some individuals.
⚠ Thinning of the skin or bruising at the injection site.

This treatment is not recommended for mild hayfever or for those who can manage symptoms with oral antihistamines or nasal sprays.

Who Can Have the Hayfever Injection?

The hayfever injection is only suitable for patients with severe symptoms that are resistant to other treatments. Before prescribing, our clinicians at Ready Health Standish will assess your medical history, current medications, and overall health.

🚫 Not suitable for:
❌ Children under 18
❌ Pregnant or breastfeeding women
❌ People with uncontrolled diabetes, high blood pressure, or weakened immune systems
❌ Those with a history of osteoporosis or steroid-related side effects

💡 If the injection is not suitable for you, we can recommend alternative treatments such as prescription antihistamines, nasal sprays, and lifestyle modifications.
