Self Help
By knowing how to treat a
minor illness you can save yourself time and help keep
your doctor free to treat more serious cases. The
information contained within this 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 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...
- Always keep medicines
out of reach of children.
- Never exceed the dosage on the packet unless advised
otherwise by your doctor.
- Keep a simple first aid box in the house to cope with
minor emergencies.
- Ask your chemist for over the counter advice. It is free
and you don't need an appointment, and a lot of the
medicines can be bought for less than the prescription
charge.
- Always tell your chemist of any medicines you are
already taking.
