Hayfever, or allergic rhinitis, occurs when your body’s immune system overreacts to elements in the environment, such as pollen. People can react to a multitude of grass or tree pollens, which can be released at different times of the year and, therefore, can make the ‘hay fever season’ last for months. Hayfever symptoms can lead to reduced concentration, reduced alertness and fatigue, affecting work and school performance.

Hayfever Treatments at The Health Suite, Leicester

Hayfever is an extremely common condition, affecting millions of people each year. Symptoms can vary from person to person, which is why it’s important to find a hayfever treatment that works for you. At our private GP and hayfever clinic in Leicester, our GPs can offer personalised hayfever treatments tailored to your individual needs. This could include anti-histamine tablets, nasal sprays, eye drops and even Kenalog injections (hayfever jabs). All hayfever treatments at The Health Suite Leicester are administered following a thorough consultation with one of our experienced general practitioners.

Hayfever Medication

Hayfever medication includes hayfever injections, antihistamines, nasal sprays, and eye drops. If you have already tried several over-the-counter antihistamines, you may benefit from higher-dose fexofenadine medication. This can be prescribed during a consultation with one of our private GPs in The Health Suite, Leicester.

Hayfever Allergy Testing

If you want to identify your exact allergy, we can offer different hayfever allergy tests to help you manage your allergies. Tests can be done against a range of pollens and other inhalants.

Non-medical treatment options for Hayfever

These include:

  • Staying indoors and limiting bare skin to reduce pollen exposure – not only for the eyes and mouth, but also for skin all over the body
  • Applying Vaseline to the nostrils
  • Frequent showers to wash off pollen
  • Keeping windows closed, especially at night

Why Hayfever Treatment is Important:

  • Relieves Symptoms: Untreated hayfever can lead to constant sneezing, a runny or blocked nose, itchy eyes, and a sore throat. These symptoms can make daily activities uncomfortable, leading to difficulty concentrating at work or school, and interfere with your ability to enjoy social activities.
  • Prevents Complications: When hayfever is not addressed, it can worsen over time and lead to complications like sinusitis (inflammation of the sinuses), ear infections, or even asthma flare-ups in individuals with pre-existing respiratory conditions. Effective treatment can help prevent these secondary issues and maintain overall respiratory health.
  • Improves Sleep Quality: Constant congestion or sneezing can significantly disrupt sleep, leading to fatigue and a reduced ability to function during the day. Treating hayfever can improve sleep quality, ensuring better rest and enhancing overall health and energy levels.
  • Enhances Quality of Life: By managing symptoms through proper treatment, individuals can enjoy a better quality of life during allergy season, participate in outdoor activities, and experience fewer disruptions to their daily routines. Treatment options, such as antihistamines, nasal sprays, and lifestyle modifications, can effectively manage and reduce symptoms.
  • Prevents Long-Term Impact on Mental Health: Chronic hayfever can lead to irritability, frustration, and stress due to persistent discomfort. It may even contribute to mental health issues such as anxiety and depression. Treating hayfever not only alleviates physical symptoms but can also improve emotional well-being.

A proportion of hayfever (allergic rhinitis) sufferers will not get a suitable or adequate improvement of their symptoms with antihistamines, nasal sprays or eye drops. For these individuals, a hayfever injection (Kenalog Injection) may be considered after consultation with a doctor at The Health Suite Leicester. Each Kenalog injection contains triamcinolone acetonide 40mg/1ml as the active ingredient, belonging to a group of medications called corticosteroids. Steroids reduce and control the body’s immune system response, which reduces inflammation and allergy symptoms. They do not cure hay fever, but control the immune system enough to remove the allergic symptoms. During your hayfever consultation with the doctor, they will discuss the indications, benefits and side effects of the hayfever injection before any administration. These hayfever injections are suitable for adults only. Response to Injectable hayfever treatments may vary from person to person and also may differ year to year, even when given at the same dose for the same person.

Advice from the experts

Checklist

Symptom checker

  • Are you experiencing frequent sneezing or a runny or blocked nose?

    These symptoms are common in hay fever and occur when pollen triggers an allergic response, causing nasal irritation and inflammation that can interfere with breathing, sleep, and daily activities.

  • Do you have itchy, red, or watery eyes?

    Eye irritation is a typical hay fever symptom caused by allergens affecting the eye surface, leading to redness, itching, watering, and discomfort that may worsen outdoors or during high pollen periods.

  • Are you suffering from nasal congestion or sinus pressure?

    Inflamed nasal passages can cause ongoing congestion, facial pressure, headaches, and a reduced sense of smell, making breathing uncomfortable and affecting concentration and wellbeing.

  • Do you feel itching in your throat, ears, or the roof of your mouth?

    Hay fever can cause persistent itching in these areas due to airborne allergens irritating sensitive tissues, often creating discomfort that is difficult to relieve without treatment.

  • Do you have a persistent cough or need to clear your throat often?

    Post-nasal drip linked to hay fever can lead to frequent coughing or throat clearing, particularly at night or in the morning, disrupting sleep and daily routines.

  • Are you feeling unusually tired or struggling with poor sleep?

    Hay fever symptoms can disturb sleep due to congestion, coughing, or itching, resulting in fatigue, low energy, and reduced focus during the day.
