Help and guidance are available if you want to cut back, take a break, or rethink your relationship with alcohol. ๐Ÿ’ช๐Ÿƒโœจ

๐Ÿคง๐Ÿฆ  Cold or flu - knowing the difference might not seem urgent, but it can help you act right. A cold often develops slowly and stays mostly around your nose and throat, while the flu tends to hit fast, affects your whole body and leaves you feeling really unwell.

๐Ÿ‘‰ Check what to expect and when to seek help:
https://patient.info/features/infections/difference-between-cold-and-flu
https://www.nhs.uk/conditions/common-cold/

Rest well, keep hydrated and if things feel worse than โ€œjust a coldโ€, donโ€™t hesitate to seek advice.

๐Ÿ’Šโœจ Did you know your local pharmacy can do far more than just hand out prescriptions? Under the Pharmacy First scheme, pharmacists can now help with a range of common conditions โ€” often without needing a GP appointment! ๐Ÿ™Œ

๐Ÿ’ฌ They can offer advice, treatments and even prescribe for minor illnesses. So next time youโ€™re under the weather, head to your local pharmacy first.
