🤒 What is a minor ailment, and how can your pharmacist help?
A minor ailment is a common health issue that is usually short-term, non-serious, and can be easily diagnosed. Think conditions like:
✅ Cold sores
✅ Seasonal allergies
✅ Pink eye
✅ Urinary tract infections (UTIs)
✅ Skin rashes or eczema
✅ Heartburn
✅ Diaper rash
✅ Mild acne
✅ Sore throat or cough
In many provinces, pharmacists can assess and prescribe treatments for certain minor ailments, saving you a trip to the doctor’s office and getting you the care you need, when you need it.
Talk to your local Stapleford pharmacist to learn more about the minor ailment treatments available to you.
