By knowing how to treat a minor illness you can save
yourself time and help keep your doctor free to treat more

section of the website will help you cope with minor
illness at home and also recognise when you should see the
doctor.
|
Please bear in mind that the
information contained within this section of the
website is NOT in any way implied as advice from any
one of the GPs here at the surgery. The information
given is NO substitute to consulting with your
doctor.
If at any time you feel that you require the
opinion of a Health Professional, please ring the
surgery to make an appointment. |
Always remember a few simple rules:
|
1 |
Always keep
medicines out of reach of children. |
|
2 |
Never exceed the
dosage on the packet unless advised otherwise by
your doctor. |
|
3 |
Keep a simple
first aid box in the house to cope with minor
emergencies. |
|
4 |
Ask your chemist
for over the counter advice. It is free and you
don't need an appointment, and a lot of medicines
can be bought for less than the cost of a
prescription. |
|
5 |
Always tell your
chemist of any medicines you are already taking. |
