With so many hay fever treatments available, it can be hard to make a decision about which treatment is best. Doctors use the NICE guidelines to help them make this decision. NICE guidelines are based on research, and they tell the doctor what the most suitable treatment would be based on certain characteristics. We’ve used the NICE guidelines to make something a little more patient-friendly: We hope our flow chart will help you choose the right hay fever medication for you, but will also give you an idea about how we make decisions about your health.

Hay fever can be especially troublesome for children. It often affects them more severely than it would affect adults, and they may have more trouble coping with it. It is often more challenging for children to ask for help when they are suffering from a medical condition like hay fever. There are some treatments available that you can use at home to help your child recover from hay fever and reduce their symptoms.

You may have heard about a new, injectable treatment for hay fever called Kenalog. There has been something of a scandal surrounding it, and consumers should be aware of the details. Let’s start with what the injection is. Typically, hay fever is treated with a steroidal spray of some sort. For kids, it is usually a nasal spray, while adults can use a more potent oral spray that is easily absorbed by the body. This new injectable treatment is similar but is as much as 20 times stronger. That is an incredible amount of medication for your body, and with it come some problems that health professionals have raised concerns about.  

Hay fever can bring with it a large number of symptoms. Not everyone will experience the same ones, and one of the least common symptoms is a rash. Thankfully, you can treat that rash in much the same way you would the other symptoms of hay fever.  

One of the rarest hay fever symptoms is a cough, often caused by excess mucus or throat irritation. If you experience a cough alongside hay fever symptoms, the two are likely related. So if you think your cough is related to hay fever, then you should be able to treat it at home with over the counter medication.

Hay fever is a condition that can cause a fair amount of discomfort for both adults and children alike. While there are many options available for adults to treat the symptoms, these medications may not be suitable for treating children.  There is no cure for hay fever and all you can really do is treat your child’s symptoms. While this may be frustrating, you still need to exercise caution when treating your child and not exceed the dosage recommended for the age category that the child falls into.

A wide range of antihistamines is available to treat your allergies. Tablets and nasal sprays are some of the most common forms of antihistamine treatment, but what's the difference between them, and which would be right for you?
