If you have intense hay fever symptoms or have noticed an increase in your usual symptoms, schedule a consultation with one of our GPs. Upon a complete medical evaluation looking into your history of hay fever and current symptoms, you may be suitable for a prescription hay fever medication to alleviate your discomfort and improve your condition.
Let the GPs at our private allergy clinic help you find the right hay fever relief for you.
Hay fever is an allergic reaction caused by the immune system's attempt to block pollen from entering the body. Despite pollen being harmless, the body can overreact to it, causing a range of symptoms. The timing of these symptoms varies depending on your geographical location, typically starting in late spring and lasting until September.
Hay fever commonly causes:
If you are suffering from hay fever symptoms, our qualified GPs are always available to have a consultation to discuss your treatment options. Seasonal rhinitis, more commonly known as hay fever, is a common allergy. However, the severity of symptoms varies from person to person.
If you have exhausted all the treatments that you know of, or are experiencing worse reactions than normal, come and speak to us. Our GPs have access to prescription-only medication that can, in the correct circumstances, be offered to help calm severe symptoms.
It must be stressed that prescription hay fever medication is only used as a last-resort treatment. But, leave that decision to our medical professionals. Regardless of your suitability for the prescription options, our GPs will be able to find the right choice for you. All you need to do is book an appointment at a convenient time for you.

We champion a wide range of treatment options for hay fever. For sufferers, our GPs have access to an extensive choice of recommendations including alternative hay fever treatments, helping you to gain relief from your symptoms.
For mild sufferers of hay fever, over-the-counter doses of antihistamines, nasal sprays and eye drops may be sufficient in building up your tolerance to pollen. However, for those who experience little relief, there are stronger medications our GPs can offer. For example, at our private allergy clinic in Birmingham, we can offer hay fever shots after a GP consultation.
A surprising treatment for hay fever is essential oils. Specialist combinations of these can be extremely effective in reducing a range of symptoms. For some, they can also act as preventatives. Essential oils appeal to many individuals and parents as they are a natural and safe way to treat hay fever symptoms.
In addition to medical intervention, our professional GPs also recommend trying these non-medical tips:
Our General Practitioners recognise the impact that severe hay fever symptoms can have on your life, which is why they provide careful assessments to determine the most appropriate treatment plan for you and your allergy.
At Midland Health, we do not believe in making you wait, if you need to see a GP, simply schedule an appointment at a date and time that works best for you. Our hay fever consultations are available at two accessible locations, both of which offer:
Our Birmingham-based hay fever clinic is situated in the Edgbaston area, close to the city centre. It is a mere 15-minute walk from the Five Ways Train Station, and conveniently located near the A456 for those travelling by car.
Despite battling annual symptoms during the spring and summer months with a high pollen count, there is no severe risk of having hay fever. It is often an inherited, genetic trait that someone will learn to manage and control.
When it comes to the best medication for hay fever, it will all come down to what works for you. Those with more severe symptoms will often have to seek a GP-approved prescription of the hay fever shot, a steroid treatment which suppresses their symptoms.
There is no permanent cure for hay fever; however, there is a wide range of treatments allowing you to control and manage your reaction.
Commonly the months with the highest pollen counts are in spring and summer, between March and late September.
For most people, the symptoms only last as long as the allergens are prevalent in the air. However, in rarer cases, some people may suffer all year long. If you are battling symptoms long past the hay fever season, come and speak with our GPs.
