Sore Throat

What is a Sore Throat?

Our pharmacists can assess your symptoms and provide effective medicated creams or lotions through the Common Ailments Service. These treatments are applied to the entire body to kill the mites and prevent reinfestation.

We’ll also advise on treating all household members at the same time, washing bedding and clothing on hot cycles, and vacuuming furniture to stop re-infestation. Treatments may be available free of charge, helping you access quick and confidential care without delay.

 

How can we help?

Through the Common Ailments Service, our pharmacists can assess your symptoms and recommend treatments such as lozenges, sprays, pain relief, or soothing remedies to reduce discomfort. We’ll also provide self-care advice, like staying hydrated, resting your voice, and using honey or warm drinks.

Many treatments may be supplied free of charge, helping you access quick relief. If your sore throat is severe, persistent, or associated with difficulty breathing or swallowing, we’ll guide you on when urgent medical care is required.
