๐ซ Chest Infections โ See Your GP
Pharmacies canโt treat chest infections, so itโs important to book a GP appointment if you think you have one.
Look out for signs such as:
A persistent cough that doesnโt improve
Chest pain or discomfort when breathing or coughing
Shortness of breath
High temperature or feeling generally unwell
While waiting to see your GP, you can:
Rest and keep warm
Drink plenty of fluids
Take simple pain relief like paracetamol if needed
Donโt delay getting checked โ chest infections can get worse if left untreated.
