Hay Fever

Allergic Rhinitis, or Hay Fever, occurs when your immune system mistakes an otherwise harmless substance as an intruder. These allergens can trigger symptoms like runny nose, itchy eyes, congestion and sneezing.

Get the Treatment You Need

In order to treat and control hay fever, a combination of medications is often needed. All medications are FDA-approved and shipped to you for free. Insurance is accepted.
