You can usually treat a cold or flu at home without seeing a GP. Here are some things you can do to help you get better more quickly:

✅ DO:
Get plenty of rest. Take paracetamol or ibuprofen to lower your temperature. Drink a hot lemon and honey drink to soothe a sore throat. Drink plenty of water to avoid dehydration.

❌ DON'T:
Give aspirin to children under the age of 16. Smoke as this can make your symptoms worse. Give honey to babies under 12 months.

Please be aware that our hospital services will be affected by industrial action this week. National action involving resident doctors will take place from 7am on Friday 14 November until 7am on Wednesday 19 November. We are working to minimise disruption and will continue providing as many services and procedures as possible. Please attend your appointments unless contacted directly.

If you need medical help, please choose services appropriately: use 111 online or GP's as the first port of call for health needs and only use 999 if it is a serious or life-threatening emergency. For more information on when to call 999 and when to go to A&E, you can visit the NHS UK website.

From October to March we can’t make enough vitamin D from sunlight, so to keep bones and muscles healthy, it’s best to take a daily 10 microgram supplement of vitamin D. You can get vitamin D from most pharmacies and retailers.
