Who you’ll see in Farnham
About hay fever
Seeing a GP in Farnham — by video or in person — means having your symptoms and triggers reviewed to confirm hay fever rather than something else. 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
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
