Hayfever Injections
Relive your symptoms for the whole season. As the pollen count starts to rise, hay fever can make life miserable for many people. Fortunately, at our medical clinic just outside Swansea we offer an effective treatment solution. Hayfever injections may be recommended to those suffering from severe hay fever symptoms as a potential outcome of a thorough consultation.
Hayfever Injections Introduction
One of the key treatments we offer for hayfever is the hay fever injection, which contains a steroid to reduce inflammation and alleviate symptoms. This injection can provide fast relief and can last for several months, making it an effective choice for those who suffer from severe hay fever symptoms.
It is important to note that this treatment is not suitable for individuals with mild hayfever symptoms. It may weaken the immune system, making patients more vulnerable to other infections, such as flu, chickenpox, and shingles. Additionally, these injections may result in potential side effects, including mood swings, elevated blood pressure, and irregular heartbeat.
Therefore, it’s important to remember that the hayfever injection is not suitable for everyone, and our nurses and doctors will assess your medical history and current health status before recommending this treatment.
Conditions Treated With Hayfever Injections
Kenalog the medication in the hayfever injection is used to treat severe hay fever that is resistant to alternative remedies. Hay fever stems from an unnecessary immune system response to pollen, leading to significant energy depletion as the immune system expends energy combatting perceived threats.
Hayfever Treatment Process
Hayfever injections temporarily suppress the body’s immune response. The steroid, Kenalog, is administered through an intramuscular injection into the buttock, delivering a low dose directly into the muscle. Following the injection, many people experience relief from symptoms that lasts the entire season. Hayfever injections will only be recommended in select circumstances following assessment by a nurse or doctor
Kenalog injections are administered intramuscularly into the buttock muscle. The injection site is meticulously cleaned with an alcohol swab before the procedure. Although the injection is relatively brief, the substance itself is not irritating, making it a relatively low-pain experience.
