Who you’ll see in St John's Wood
About hay fever
Seeing a GP in St John's Wood — 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. Stronger options — steroid nasal sprays, eye drops or a short oral course — are arranged with your pharmacy. See our national page at /conditions/hay-fever/ for more.
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.
