🤒 Cold and Flu season has arrived!! We’re seeing a big increase in people coming in with colds this week. Below are some things that can help but please always ask us for advice!

🌡️ Fever, aches and pains? Paracetamol or ibuprofen can help relieve a high temperature, headaches and muscle aches, if suitable for you.

👃 Blocked nose? Saline nasal sprays can help ease congestion. Decongestant sprays may also help, but should only be used for up to 7 days.

🤧 Runny nose and sneezing? Some antihistamines may help, particularly if allergy symptoms are also present.

😮‍💨 Cough bothering you? Honey in a warm drink may soothe a cough. Some cough medicines may help with specific symptoms, depending on the type of cough.

🗣️ Sore throat? Medicated lozenges, throat sprays and simple pain relief may help soothe discomfort.

💧 Don’t forget the basics! Rest, drink plenty of fluids and give yourself time to recover.

There have been around 14 million consultations through the pharmacy first service since it launched in February 2024.

You can get treatment for these conditions from your local community pharmacist, including some prescription medicine, if needed – without you seeing a GP.

From this autumn, participating pharmacies will be able to assess and treat 5 additional common conditions:

- migraine in adults
- outer ear infections in adults
- acne in young people and adults
- mild skin infections and scabies
- seasonal allergic rhinitis in children
