If seasonal allergy has been already diagnosed, usually steroid treatment and antibiotics would work very well. There are steroid injection in long acting formulations that will last for 3-4 weeks. I would recommend to discuss this options with your local vet. Please do not hesitate to contact us again on the forum or by requesting a consultation if you have any more questions or to discuss it any further.
