Self Care

Can you treat yourself at home?self care

A well-stocked medicine cabinet will help you to treat many everyday illnesses at home. For example, a small supply of paracetamol or ibuprofen (available as syrup for children) and other remedies will help you treat common ailments such as coughs, colds and sore throats this winter.

If your symptoms worsen, it is worth checking with your pharmacist for immediate over the counter advice before booking an appointment at your GP surgery.
