Your local pharmacy is a great first port of call for advice on minor health issues and medicines. They can help with things like:
Coughs, colds or flu
Ear or headache
Sprains
Stomach upsets and diarrhoea
Bites and stings
Skin irritations
Allergies
Cystitis
Emergency contraception.
Many pharmacies have extended hours and no appointment is needed. They can also advise if another local NHS service is needed.
