What is Hayfever?

Hayfever (allergic rhinitis) is your immune system's response to airborne pollen. Pollen itself is harmless, but in people with hayfever, the body treats it as a threat — triggering inflammation and the familiar symptoms of congestion, sneezing and itchy eyes.

In the UK, grass pollen is the most common trigger and tends to peak from late May through July. Tree pollen often affects people earlier in spring, while weed pollen can extend symptoms into late summer. The severity of symptoms can vary depending on the type of pollen and daily pollen counts.

For most people, symptoms peak in late spring and early summer, though tree, grass and weed pollens can extend the season through to September in some areas. For those with severe symptoms, over-the-counter treatments often provide insufficient relief.

What is Hayfever Treatment?

Hayfever treatment is designed to help reduce the symptoms caused by an allergic reaction to pollen and other airborne allergens. For people whose symptoms are not adequately controlled with antihistamines or nasal sprays, additional treatment options may be available following a medical assessment. Key points about hayfever treatment include:

  • Aims to reduce the body's allergic response to pollen.
  • May help relieve sneezing, nasal congestion, and a runny nose.
  • Can reduce itchy, watery, or irritated eyes.
  • Often considered for moderate to severe hayfever symptoms.
Your doctor will discuss the most suitable treatment options for your individual circumstances and answer any questions you may have during your consultation.

Managing Hayfever Symptoms

Alongside or while awaiting treatment, the following self-care measures may help:

  • Check the daily pollen forecast from the Met Office before planning outdoor activities, particularly during peak grass pollen months.
  • Keep windows and doors closed during peak pollen hours.
  • Shower and change clothes after coming indoors.
  • Wash your hands and face regularly.
  • Wear wraparound sunglasses when outside.
  • Reduce contact with other allergens, such as pet hair or dust.
  • Limit alcohol, as it can worsen inflammation.
Most people start with antihistamines or nasal sprays, and for many, that’s enough early in the season. But for patients with severe symptoms, these often provide only partial relief — which is where a private hayfever treatment may help. If you’re looking for additional ways to manage symptoms, we’ve also written a guide on natural remedies for hayfever that may help alongside medical treatment.

Frequently Asked Questions

Who is suitable for a hayfever treatment?
You may be suitable if you are over 18, suffer from severe seasonal allergic rhinitis, standard over-the-counter treatments have not provided adequate relief, and you do not have any contraindicated medical conditions. Suitability is always confirmed by a GP during your consultation.
Does the treatment cure hayfever permanently?
No. The treatment controls symptoms during the active pollen season but does not cure hayfever permanently. It is an allergic condition, and symptoms are likely to return in future seasons.
Can I still take antihistamines after the treatment?
Yes. In some cases, antihistamines or nasal sprays may still be used if mild breakthrough symptoms occur. Your GP will provide personalised advice based on your symptom profile.
Can I book a same-day hayfever treatment in Birmingham?

Same-day consultations are often available during pollen season, subject to GP availability. We recommend booking early during peak months (April to July) to secure your preferred appointment time.

What alternatives are there if I'm not suitable for the treatment?

If the treatment is not appropriate for you, your GP may recommend prescription-strength antihistamines, nasal sprays, eye drops, combination therapy, or personalised allergy management advice. Your treatment plan will always be tailored to your individual needs and medical history.
