Sinusitis Treatment, Explained
Sinusitis usually follows a cold and usually resolves without antibiotics. When it drags on, keeps coming back, or the pain is severe and one-sided, it is worth having someone look properly.
The pharmacist will go through your symptoms and how long they have lasted, and set out what will actually help, whether that is a prescription, a change to what you are already using, or a referral.
Why People Choose Sinusitis Treatment
Same-day appointments
Usually seen the same day, without waiting for a GP appointment to come free.
Assessed by a prescriber
An independent prescribing pharmacist assesses you and can prescribe where it is appropriate.
Honest advice
If treatment is not the right answer, or you need to see a GP, we will tell you plainly.
Private consultation room
Every consultation happens behind a closed door, not at the counter.
