The NHS in Sussex is reminding parents they can get help from local pharmacies for five common minor conditions in children. You can have a consultation with a trained clinical professional and receive advice and medication for earache (children aged 1-17), sore throat (over 5s), infected insect bites (over 1s), impetigo (over 1s), and sinusitis (over 12’s). This can save you time and may avoid the need to see a GP.

Adults can also get help from pharmacies for these conditions, as well as with shingles and contraception.
