Managing Summer Allergies: Fast Private Treatments Available Now

As the weather warms and nature bursts into life, millions of people across the UK face a less welcome sign of summer: allergies. 🌼
From high pollen counts to insect bites and sun-related skin reactions, seasonal allergies can make the sunny months a struggle.

Fortunately, private clinics like Ready Health offer fast, effective allergy treatments — helping you enjoy summer symptom-free.

In this blog, we’ll explore the most common summer allergies, why private treatment is a smart choice, and how you can find fast relief today.

🔍 What Causes Summer Allergies?

Summer allergies happen when your immune system overreacts to harmless substances like pollen, mould spores, or insect venom.
Common summer allergens include:

✅ Many summer allergies are predictable — meaning with the right preparation, symptoms can be minimised or avoided entirely.

🏥 Why Choose Private Clinics for Allergy Treatment?

While NHS services do provide allergy support, demand often outstrips supply, especially during peak seasons.
Private allergy clinics offer significant advantages:

1. Fast Access

• Same-day or next-day consultations available 📅

• Quick allergy testing and diagnosis without waiting months

2. Personalised Treatment Plans

• Tailored medication regimens and lifestyle advice

• Access to stronger or newer treatments not always available over-the-counter

3. Advanced Treatment Options

• Corticosteroid hayfever injections (e.g., Kenalog) for long-term relief 💉

• Prescription nasal sprays and antihistamines

• Desensitisation therapies (immunotherapy) for severe allergies

4. Greater Convenience

• Flexible appointment times, including evenings and weekends

• Private prescriptions without needing GP referrals

Choosing private care means you can tackle allergy season head-on — not suffer through it. 🌸

🩺 Common Private Allergy Treatments Available

Ready Health and other reputable clinics offer a wide range of allergy treatments, including:

1. Hayfever Injections (Kenalog)

A corticosteroid injection that reduces inflammation and immune system response.
✅ Provides symptom relief for up to 8–12 weeks — ideal for covering the entire summer.

Best for: Severe hayfever sufferers who haven't responded to tablets or sprays.

2. Prescription-Strength Antihistamines

Stronger oral antihistamines available through private prescriptions can:

• Reduce sneezing, itching, and runny nose

• Last longer with fewer side effects compared to over-the-counter options

3. Nasal Corticosteroid Sprays

More effective than simple decongestants, these sprays directly reduce inflammation in the nasal passages.
✅ Especially useful for preventing congestion and sinus headaches.

4. Allergy Testing and Immunotherapy

For patients with severe or multiple allergies, private clinics can offer:

• Skin prick testing or blood (IgE) testing

• Tailored allergy management plans
