Suggest Treatment For Hay Fever
Hello, my husband has been suffering severe hay fever for the past 3 weeks. anti histamines are not touching him at all. He is sneezing, has extremely itchy red eyes and feels terrible. He is going to the doctors now but I was just reading up on cortisone injections. Are these still used in severe cases?

Hi... nowadays rather than steroid injections, good intranasal steroid sprays have come. I think he should be on intranasal steroids along with oral montelukast which might make his symptoms better.
If still not getting better I suggest a short course of oral steroids and not injectable steroids.
