Sinusitis Treatment and Advice Service
About this service
Sinusitis is a painful swelling of the sinuses, an area inside your nose, usually caused by an infection. It is a common condition that clears up on its own after about 2 to three weeks but you can now visit you local pharmacy and receive treatments to fight the infection or advice to help relieve the symptoms.
Our expert pharmacy teams will assess and can supply treatments for sinusitis in adults and children over 12 years old.
Sinusitis symptoms include:
- pain, swelling and tenderness around your cheeks, eyes or forehead
- a blocked nose
- a reduced sense of smell
- green or yellow mucus from your nose
- a sinus headache
- a high temperature
- toothache
- bad breath
Our trained pharmacist will ask you a few questions about your infection and the symptoms you have.
They will also check for any other conditions or symptoms that may need them to refer you to another NHS service for further checks.
This is a free NHS service if you are exempt from prescription charges.
Our pharmacy team will also give you other advice and suggest other treatments for the relief of symptoms.
This is a drop-in service but you may want to check with the pharmacy before heading to your local branch.
Our teams on hand to supply treatments for sinusitis in adults and children over 12. Effective treatment options for sinus pain, infected sinus, painful sinus, blocked nose and stuffy noses in Doncaster, Rotherham, Sheffield, Scunthorpe, South Yorkshire and North Lincolnshire with Pharmacy First.
