Hay Fever Treatment
Hay Fever Treatment and Rhinolight Treatment differ in approach and suitability. Hay Fever Treatment involves a single-dose medication that provides season-long relief within 1–48 hours but is only available for adults aged 18 and above.
What it is?
The hay fever Treatment can reduce symptoms of hay fever for the entire season. If you have previously been administered other treatments to combat hay fever, such as oral antihistamine tablets, topical eye drops, one solution to alleviate your hay fever symptoms is to get the hay fever shot. This is a steroid treatment, recommended for those who have severe symptoms
How does it work?
During your appointment, our healthcare professionals will take the time to detail the benefits as well as the side effects of the recommended medicine. They will make sure that this is the right treatment for you, assessing whether other treatments might be best suitable for your needs.
The hay fever shot is administered intramuscularly and the effects will start working within one to 48 hours after having the dose.
How Effective Are The Treatments?
The effectiveness of hay fever treatment can vary from person to person, as each individual’s response to the treatment can differ. The doctor could recommend a second dose during an appointment based on the specific needs and responses of the individual.

What are the Benefits?
While no treatment can guarantee complete symptom relief, Rhinolight phototherapy has been shown to be highly effective for many patients. Most individuals experience a noticeable reduction in hay fever symptoms within the first two weeks of treatment. Completing the full course over a month provides lasting relief, and follow-up booster sessions every 2-3 months help maintain the benefits.
