Sore Throat
Who do I see?
Community Pharmacy/GP if it persists for over 1 week
Advice:
Please search for your nearest community pharmacist.
If you have a sore throat, there are a number of ways you can help yourself. Paracetamol can help with the pain, and gargling with warm, salty water may help shorten the infection (but this isn’t recommended for children). In most cases, you only need to see your GP if your sore throat doesn’t improve after a week.
If there is no improvement after 1 week please contact the practice on 0345 337 6350 between 8.30-10am or 2.00-2.30pm and give the reception team as much information as you can and one of the clinicians will get back to you that day.
