The Family Allergy Clinic & Wellness Center specializes in hay fever treatment for adults and children. Hay Fever (also called Rhinitis) is similar to allergies but often more severe, and causes symptoms similar to the common cold.
Hay fever (also known as allergic rhinitis) occurs when your body overreacts to an allergen in the environment such as a plant pollen. Your body perceives that allergen as a dangerous enemy and unleashes chemicals in self-defense. These chemicals can cause inflammation of the various tissues of the eyes, nose and throat, leading to itchy eyes, a runny or congested nose, sneezing and a sinus infection or itchy throat.
Allergy medications may help in the short term, but hay fever symptoms will return once you stop the medications. A more lasting solution may lie in oral allergy drops which can actually help retrain the immune system to stop overreacting to allergens in the environment in the first place.
Allergy drops contain extracts of the most common allergens (pollen, pet dander, etc.) mixed into a saline solution. These drops are placed under the tongue where they absorb into the bloodstream. Over time, the body can learn to tolerate these allergens and stop overreacting to them in ways that lead to irritating symptoms. Allergy drops are safer than allergy shots.

Allergies and allergy symptoms usually stop as soon as you are no longer in-contact with allergens, while hay fever symptoms are recurring and can last for months. Hay fever is a chronic condition, persistent, and can occur during allergy season or all throughout the year. Untreated seasonal allergies can progress into the more chronic condition of annual hay fever.
Treating persistent hay fever starts by managing the allergic reactions that cause hay fever. Dust, pollen, mold, and air pollutants are the most common allergens that cause hay fever. Allergy shots or allergy drops can help to manage the symptoms of allergic reactions that cause hay fever.
Diphenhydramine (Benadryl) is an over-the-counter (OTC) medication that is used to treat the immediate symptoms of allergies and hay fever. However, you can better-manage your hay fever symptoms long-term with allergy shots and allergy drops.
The Family Allergy Clinic helps hay fever sufferers by offering seasonal allergy treatments in the form of allergy shots and / or allergy drops (under the tongue, sublingual drops).
