3. Receive treatment or advice
You may receive treatment remotely where appropriate, or be invited to attend the pharmacy for further assessment.
Take Control of Seasonal Allergy Symptoms
Hay fever can turn warmer months into a daily struggle. Persistent sneezing, blocked sinuses and irritated eyes can affect your sleep, focus and overall comfort – especially when symptoms return year after year.
Many people try to manage hay fever on their own, but when symptoms become disruptive or harder to control, professional advice can make a real difference.
At Larchwood Pharmacy in Croydon, our private prescribing clinic offers pharmacist-led assessment and tailored treatment for hay fever. We focus on helping you manage symptoms safely and effectively, with options suited to your health history and lifestyle.
What Is Hay Fever?
Hay fever, also known as allergic rhinitis, is an allergic reaction to airborne pollen. When exposed, the immune system triggers inflammation in the nose, eyes and airways.
Symptoms typically worsen during spring and summer when pollen levels are high, though some people may experience ongoing sensitivity throughout the year.
Symptoms We Can Assess
- Sneezing and nasal congestion
- Runny or blocked nose
- Itchy or watery eyes
- Sinus discomfort
- Scratchy or irritated throat
Because hay fever symptoms can resemble colds or sinus infections, proper assessment helps ensure you receive appropriate treatment.
Allergy Treatment in Croydon
Following a private consultation, treatment options may include:
- Antihistamines
- Nasal steroid sprays
- Combination treatments where suitable
- Other clinically appropriate medications
All treatment is provided following assessment by a prescribing pharmacist.

The Larchwood team has always provided us with outstandingly good service: whether it’s questions we ask or requests we make by phone or in person, home delivery of prescription medications, or when we have required other support such as the fitting of a blood pressure monitor. Kajal, the Pharmacy Manager, leads by example and has set a very high bar, blending efficiency, empathy and charm in perfect proportions. Thank you so very much!Posted on Mary SalterTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. A very friendly and knowledgeable pharmacy.
