Sinusitis Treatment

Under Pharmacy First, our pharmacists can assess and treat acute sinusitis without the need for a GP appointment. If your symptoms have lasted more than 10 days or are getting worse, the pharmacist may be able to supply antibiotics directly.

No, this is a free NHS service. There is no charge for the consultation or for any medicine supplied by the pharmacist.

This service is for symptoms of acute sinusitis including pain or pressure around the forehead, cheeks, or eyes, a blocked or runny nose, reduced sense of smell, and green or yellow mucus from the nose.

The pharmacist will refer you to your GP if your symptoms are very severe, if you have had repeated episodes of sinusitis, or if you have certain underlying health conditions that require medical review.
