Hay Fever Injection01 Jun, 2023Health

Hay fever, also referred to as seasonal allergic rhinitis or seasonal allergies, is an allergic response caused by pollen. The allergy occurs when a person?s immune system reacts to pollen(allergens) and releases chemicals into the bloodstream to defend against those allergens. Seasonal allergic rhinitis is common during the summer and spring months. To diagnose hay fever, a doctor will inquire about your symptoms and how often they appear. He/she will then make a diagnosis based on your symptoms and physical exam. After a proper diagnosis, the doctor will inject Kenalog around your buttock if an injection is necessary. However, if you need further examination, you will be referred to an allergist for allergy skin tests or blood tests.
