Many of us look forward to the spring and summer months, the lighter evenings and the warmer weather however for hayfever sufferers the spring time brings the added dread of months of debilitating symptoms ahead. During Spring/Summer and sometimes at other times of the year the different types of pollen in the air can trigger symptoms such as a running nose, itchy eyes, sneezing, irritation in the throat, headaches and fatigue.
Some sufferers also experience a wheeze or tightness of the chest. For many people who suffer with Hayfever (allergic rhinitis) these symptoms can last for months and finding relief can be tricky and costly. Many people will have tried the most common ways of controlling their seasonal symptoms such as wearing sunglasses, regularly rinsing the nasal passage and using sprays, administering eye drops and taking over the counter antihistamines however these require daily upkeep and so can become all-consuming, disruptive and costly. At CLNQ in Cheshire & Manchester hayfever treatments are offered to give you relief from these symptoms.
What is Hayfever?
Hayfever is an allergic reaction to pollen. Approximately 1 in 4 people are affected throughout the year, many at different stages. For example tree pollen allergies tend to trigger in the spring season up until May whilst grass pollen usually affects people between May and July and weed pollen between June and September. Hayfever works in the same way to any other allergy, whilst pollen is not dangerous to you, your immune system initiates an inflammatory response to a foreign substance (in this case pollen) entering the body and fights to remove it.
How can you treat hayfever?
With hayfever treatment Manchester & Cheshire patients have a number of options available for the treatment and relief of symptoms. Some commonly used treatments include anti-histamines or nasal sprays. Our doctors will assess you and discuss some options for treatment of your hayfever.

Frequently Asked Questions
How long will I experience relief for following hayfever treatment?
Depending on the treatment some relief should be experienced for a minimum of 3 weeks and for as long as the entire season.
Are there any reasons why I may not be suitable for a Hayfever treatment?
Certain treatments can interfere with and cause problems for people with certain medical conditions and medications such as stomach ulcers and diabetes, ibuprofen and aspirin. It is also advised that patients with an active infection do not have treatment until their symptoms have passed. It is important that you fully disclose any medical conditions and medications during your consultation.
Can I get a Hayfever treatment through my NHS GP?
Discussing your symptoms with your GP is important. Certain hayfever treatments may not be available via your GP therefore we would invite you to attend one of our CQC registered facilities to meet our private GPs where we can offer advice and treatment subject to suitability.
How much does a Hayfever treatment cost?
At CLNQ we invite you to meet with doctor who will carry out a consultation which includes establishing your medical history to ensure suitability prior to administering a treatment. The cost of the hayfever treatment consultation and treatment is £140.
Is there a way to permanently cure Hayfever?
Unfortunately there is no cure for Hayfever, the only way to manage the symptoms is to limit your exposure and to use hayfever treatments described by the doctor.

What You Should Know Before Booking
The hay fever injection is a long-acting corticosteroid. It works, and for people whose symptoms are genuinely disabling despite maximal conventional treatment it can transform a summer.
It is also not first-line, and we will say so. NICE does not recommend routine use of depot corticosteroid injections for hay fever, and most people do well on a combination of a regular intranasal steroid spray started before the season, a non-sedating antihistamine, and eye drops. That combination costs very little and carries far less systemic exposure.
A single injection delivers a dose of steroid that stays in your system for weeks. That brings real, if uncommon, risks: raised blood sugar, mood disturbance, sleep disruption, fluid retention, raised blood pressure, and with repeated annual use, effects on bone density and adrenal function.
Our position: we will discuss it honestly, we will ask what you have already tried, and we will not give it to someone who has not had a proper trial of conventional treatment. If that means you leave with a prescription instead of an injection, that is the right outcome.
Alternatives Worth Trying First
- Intranasal corticosteroid spray — the single most effective treatment, and consistently under-used because people start it too late and use it incorrectly. Start two weeks before your season.
- Non-sedating antihistamines — daily through the season rather than as needed.
- Antihistamine eye drops — for symptoms that are mainly ocular.
- Immunotherapy — sublingual or subcutaneous desensitisation, the only treatment that modifies the underlying allergy rather than suppressing symptoms. It takes three years and is worth discussing if your hay fever is severe every year.
- Allergy testing — worth doing if you do not actually know what you react to, or if symptoms extend beyond the pollen season.
