Hay Fever

What is hay fever?

Hay fever, also known as allergic rhinitis, is a common allergic reaction that occurs when your immune system overreacts to pollen, dust, or other airborne allergens. During certain seasons or year-round, exposure to these triggers may cause inflammation in your nasal passages and sinuses, leading to uncomfortable symptoms that can affect your daily life and sleep quality.

Who is this service for?

Hay fever affects millions of people across the United States, and you're not alone if you experience seasonal or year-round symptoms. This service is ideal for anyone who experiences sneezing, congestion, itchy eyes, or other allergy-related symptoms during specific seasons or throughout the year. Whether your symptoms are mild or significantly impact your quality of life, our team can help you find relief.

What to expect during your visit

During your first appointment at Denver Allergy, we'll take time to understand your symptoms, medical history, and lifestyle. We may recommend allergy testing—such as skin prick tests or blood tests—to identify your specific triggers. These tests are quick, minimally invasive, and help us create a personalized treatment plan tailored to your needs.

Treatment and management options

Hay fever can often be managed through a combination of approaches:

• Medications: Antihistamines, nasal corticosteroids, and decongestants may help reduce symptoms

• Immunotherapy: Allergy shots or sublingual tablets may help desensitize your immune system over time

• Environmental controls: Simple steps like keeping windows closed during high pollen seasons and using air filters

• Lifestyle adjustments: Timing outdoor activities and rinsing nasal passages may provide relief

Our allergists will work with you to determine which options are most appropriate for your situation and preferences.
