Minor ailments
Your local pharmacy is a good port of call for dealing minor ailments such as:
- bugs and viruses
- minor injuries
- tummy troubles
- Common colds
- women's health
- skin conditions
- allergies
- aches and pains
Your pharmacist can also provide advice on treating a number of common conditions that affect infants and children.
Your local pharmacy team will be able to give you expert advice on how to treat minor ailments and some may be able to prescribe medicines for you through an NHS Minor Ailment Service.
