Pharmacy First Sinusitis
Sinusitis is swelling of the sinuses, usually caused by a viral infection. It often follows a cold and can cause a blocked or runny nose, pain and pressure around the cheeks, eyes or forehead, and a reduced sense of smell. Most cases clear up on their own, but our pharmacist can assess your symptoms and advise on the best treatment.
Available for adults and children aged 12 years and over. Our pharmacist will check your symptoms and history to confirm whether treatment is suitable for you.
