Hay fever treatment with a private GP in Chichester
FastTrack GP Chichester runs from the City Business Centre on Basin Road, immediately south-east of the city centre and a short walk from the railway and bus stations. If pharmacy antihistamines aren't holding your hay fever and you don't want to wait for a routine NHS appointment, you can book a paid GP consultation here — in clinic or by video — and see what the booking system actually has free. The clinical detail sits on our national page at /conditions/hay-fever/; this page covers getting seen in Chichester.

Who you’ll see in Chichester
About hay fever
Seeing a GP in Chichester — by video or in person — means having your symptoms and triggers reviewed to confirm hay fever rather than something else. That includes ruling out a cold, sinus infection or non-allergic rhinitis, with stronger treatment available if antihistamines from the pharmacy haven't helped. Options include a steroid nasal spray, eye drops or a short course of oral treatment, arranged with your pharmacy. Full detail is on /conditions/hay-fever/.
About hay fever
An allergic reaction to pollen, hay fever causes inflammation across the nose, eyes, throat and sinuses. It typically brings on sneezing, a blocked or runny nose, itchy watery eyes, and an itchy throat or ears, often worse on high-pollen days. For some people it's a mild seasonal nuisance; for others it's disruptive enough to affect sleep, work or school.
What happens in the appointment
In Chichester, seeing a GP about hay fever — by video or in person — means a review of your symptoms and triggers before treatment is discussed.
