Earache or Infection (Otitis Media)

If your child has pain in the ear, they may have an infection (Otitis Media). Bring them into the Pharmacy to speak to the Pharmacist. This service is for children aged one year to seventeen years.

You will have a private consultation with one of our expert pharmacists to discuss your symptoms and get the help you need. This means you can get the right treatment without having to go to your GP.
