Hay Fever

Hay fever is an allergic reaction affecting the nose and eyes due to overreaction to allergens, typically pollen from trees, grasses, and weeds. Common symptoms include sneezing, nasal congestion, itchy eyes, itchy throat or ears, fatigue, and coughing. Seasonal or year-round symptoms can occur due to indoor allergens. Kenalog is a steroid injection and it is not an antihistamine and should only be used when initial treatments such as antihistamines no longer help. Steroids are a powerful anti-inflammatory medication that helps suppress the body’s immune response when it overreacts to allergens or inflammation. Kenalog injections can be beneficial when other treatments such as oral antihistamines, nasal sprays and eye drops have failed. A consultation and treatment with Dr Choudry can help manage your hay fever effectively.
