Hay fever treatment with a private GP in Exeter
FastTrack GP Exeter is at 34 Denmark Road, EX1 1SE, a few minutes from the city centre and on the edge of the Heavitree Road bus corridor. If pharmacy antihistamines aren't holding your hay fever and you don't want to wait for a routine appointment, you can book a GP consultation here — in clinic or by video — and see what's actually available before you commit. Patients travel in from across Exeter and the wider Devon travel-to-work area, from Heavitree and St Leonard's a few minutes away to Exmouth, Tiverton, Honiton and Okehampton.

- When you can be seen

- NHS options nearby
- Boots, Exeter Community Pharmacy and Allied Pharmacy Heavitree can advise, though this isn't part of NHS Pharmacy First. The NHS Walk-In Centre on Sidwell Street (8am–8pm daily) and Honiton Hospital's Minor Injuries Unit handle urgent but non-emergency problems. Your own NHS GP practice is also an option.
For urgent problems, the NHS options above are the right route rather than a booked appointment with us.
Who you’ll see in Exeter
About hay fever
A GP in Exeter reviews your symptoms and triggers, by video or in clinic, to confirm whether it's genuinely hay fever. The GP distinguishes it from a cold, sinus infection or non-allergic rhinitis, and can step up treatment if over-the-counter antihistamines haven't worked. 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
Hay fever is an allergic reaction to pollen, causing inflammation in the nose, eyes, throat and sinuses. Common symptoms include sneezing, a runny or blocked nose, itchy and watery eyes, and an itchy throat or ears, usually worse when pollen counts are high. Symptoms can range from mild and seasonal to significant enough to disrupt sleep, work or school.
