Can you cure hay fever?

There is currently no cure for hay fever. However, treatments are available that can significantly reduce or control your symptoms. If standard medicines don't work well enough, a specialist treatment called immunotherapy can improve symptoms substantially over time, though this also doesn't cure the condition.

Key points:

• Antihistamines and steroid nasal sprays can ease symptoms when used regularly
• Immunotherapy (allergy injections or tablets) can reduce symptoms by up to 70% over three years but requires a long-term commitment
• You cannot prevent hay fever, but you can manage it with the right treatment approach
• Symptoms may still occur on high pollen days even after successful treatment
