If your child or young person has an earache, your local pharmacy can often help without needing a GP appointment. Through the Pharmacy First service, pharmacists can assess symptoms, give advice and provide treatment where appropriate for children aged 1 to 17. 💙👶🩺✨

Pharmacists can:
• Assess your child’s symptoms and check for signs of infection 🔍💙
• Offer advice on managing pain and symptoms at home 🌿💊
• Provide treatment, including some prescription medicines if needed 💊🩺
• Refer you to a GP or other service if symptoms need further care 🚑⚠️

Earache is a common condition in children, and many cases can be safely managed with support from your pharmacist. Getting help locally can save time and ensure your child gets the right care quickly.
