How do i get rid of hay fever? does this require a visit to the urgent care?

Depends: For milder cases, an otc antihistamine may help. For moderately severe cases, ask your doctor to prescribe a nasal antihistamine or steroid. For bothersome and lingering cases, an allergist would be your best bet. Avoidance of the trigger ( pets etc) would be an important first step.

It takes time but: There are very good treatments.If you have been suffering a while, 1st see a board certified allergist(www.Acaai.Org) in your area.They will take complete history of your symptoms, what medications you have tried, &do some simple testing. Then a specific vaccine plan can be made which is the closest to a cure...Most patients with whom I do the above are very happy (less symptoms, less meds etc).
