Conditions covered
We offer a free consultation for the following conditions under Pharmacy First
Sore Throat
Does it hurt to swallow? Is your throat dry and scratchy with redness and swelling at the back? These classic symptoms of a sore throat could be early signs of tonsillitis.
Uncomplicated Urinary Tract Infection
Are you experiencing smelly urine that burns when you go? Are you going much more frequently or struggling to go at all? These are signs of a urinary tract infection.
Impetigo
Sinusitis
Do you have a blocked nose, a reduced sense of smell with pain in your face, across your cheeks or in your head? These are classic signs of sinusitis and are sometimes associated with toothaches and a temperature.
Infected Insect Bites
Have you had a recent insect bite that now looks red, swollen and painful, worse than it did? Your bite may be infected.
Shingles
Shingles is a painful red rash that occurs in clusters on the skin. The red spots can blister and burst creating crusts and it looks like chicken pox. Shingles can be very painful and require painkillers to manage the discomfort.
Impetigo is a skin problem that starts with reddish sores that can be itchy and irritating. After a day or two, they can rupture and leak a clear fluid that forms a golden crust. This is an infection and can spread easily through touch, clothing and towels. Care is needed to avoid spreading it.
Earache
Do you have any of the following symptoms? Then you may have an ear infection.
-
earache
-
a high temperature
-
being sick
-
a lack of energy
-
slight hearing loss – if the middle ear becomes filled with fluid
-
in some cases, a hole may develop in the eardrum (perforated eardrum) and pus may run out of the ear
