I've seen a few social media posts, advising parents that pharmacies are able to swab or otherwise diagnose Strep A, and offer antibiotics for treatment/prophylaxis. This is certainly not the case in the Mersey region.

Whilst we are able to supply antibiotics for SOME sore throats, the supply of them is, rightly so, tightly controlled so if the patient doesn't fit the exact criteria all we can do is offer symptomatic relief and refer them to their GP.

If your child presents with symptoms of Strep A; often flu-like symptoms, sore throat, raised temperature, swollen neck glands, and has experienced a rapid decline please contact emergency medical services, ie Children's A&E.

Just a quick reminder folks COVID is still out there, please test before going to events with strangers, wear a mask if possible in enclosed spaces , give one another some space and most importantly stay home if you think you might have Covid. FREE NHS lateral flow tests should still be available from your local pharmacy.

But most of all stay safe, we've made it this far let's not throw it all away, now.
