Sinusitis

Pharmacy First Sinusitis Treatment

Sinusitis can cause facial pain, congestion, and pressure that disrupts your day. With our NHS Pharmacy First service, you can access fast, expert treatment at The Care Pharmacy—no GP appointment needed.

What this service is for

This service is designed to help patients experiencing symptoms of acute sinusitis, such as blocked sinuses, nasal discharge, or facial tenderness. Our pharmacists can assess your condition and recommend appropriate treatment where eligible.

Who it’s for

The service is suitable for adults and children over the age of 12 who are suffering from mild to moderate sinus symptoms. It’s ideal for those needing quick relief and access to treatment without waiting for a GP appointment. If symptoms are severe or persist, we may refer you to another healthcare provider.

How it works

Our pharmacist will carry out a short consultation to understand your symptoms and medical history. If appropriate, we can supply effective treatment such as nasal sprays or antibiotics through the NHS. You’ll also receive tailored advice on self-care.

What to expect

Sinusitis usually clears up in 2–3 weeks, but early treatment can ease discomfort and prevent complications. You may experience facial pain, blocked nose, reduced smell, or green/yellow discharge. With the right care and medication, symptoms can improve more quickly.
