A sore throat is a common condition that typically resolves on its own within a week. Most cases are caused by viral infections, while bacterial infections are less common. Sore throats can also be linked to several other health conditions. Our pharmacists will assess your symptoms to help determine the likely cause.
You may be eligible for support if you:
1. Are 18 or over,
2. or have a child aged 5 and above with a sore throat
Look out for symptoms such as:
1. A raised temperature (above 38C)
2. Pain when swallowing
3. Red, inflamed tonsils
4. White, streaky patches on the tonsils
This service is not suitable for individuals under 16 who are pregnant—they should consult their GP.
