AllergyRhino featured in The Guardian: why we’re rethinking allergy care for families

We’re proud to share that AllergyRhino has been featured in The Guardian! 📰🎉 The article highlights a truth many families already know: allergies don’t just cause sneezing, they impact a child’s entire life, from focus and energy levels to confidence at school.

For kids with hay fever, asthma, or eczema, allergies can turn everyday life into a challenge. Over-the-counter medications often only mask symptoms, while side effects like drowsiness or brain fog can make things even harder. It’s why AllergyRhino is working to deliver evidence-based allergy care for families that treats the root cause, not just the symptoms.

The impact of hay fever on learning and life

Our recent whitepaper, Hay Fever in Exam Season: Helping Students with Allergy Immunotherapy, reveals just how disruptive uncontrolled allergies can be.

• Up to 63% of students report hay fever symptoms during exam time.

• A landmark UK study showed students with active hay fever were 40% more likely to drop at least one grade in exam, and that risk jumped to 70% if they were taking sedating antihistamines.

• Beyond academics, hay fever affects sleep, concentration, mood, and confidence, impacting students long after exam season.
  

These numbers show allergies aren’t a seasonal nuisance, they’re a serious health issue with long-term effects.

Why we believe in immunotherapy

Traditional allergy medications only block symptoms temporarily. Allergy immunotherapy is different: it retrains the immune system to tolerate allergens like pollen or dust mites, offering long-term or even permanent relief.

Research shows:

• Immunotherapy tablets reduce hay fever symptoms by 30% and cut medication use by 38%.

• A full course of immunotherapy can lead to years of remission, even after stopping treatment.

• Treating allergic rhinitis early may even reduce the risk of developing asthma later on.
  

How AllergyRhino helps families

We’ve built a new way to access specialist-level allergy care without endless hospital visits. Backed by Prof. Adam Fox and Prof. Stephen Till of Guy’s and St Thomas’ NHS Trust, our service offers:
