Get Back to Feeling Like Yourself

Acute sinusitis is a common condition that develops when the air-filled spaces behind your forehead, cheeks, and nose become inflamed, usually following a cold or viral infection. This inflammation can block normal mucus drainage, causing pressure, facial pain, and nasal congestion that can interfere with sleep, work, and everyday activities.

Most cases of acute sinusitis improve naturally within two to three weeks. However, if symptoms become severe, persist, or worsen after initially improving, a pharmacist can assess whether further treatment through the NHS Pharmacy First service may be appropriate.

Many people are unsure whether sinus symptoms require medical treatment or simply more time to recover. At Churchills Pharmacy, our experienced pharmacists can assess your symptoms, explain the likely cause, recommend appropriate treatment where suitable, and advise when further medical assessment is necessary.

Our Acute Sinusitis service may include

✓ Symptom assessment by an experienced pharmacist
✓ NHS Pharmacy First treatment where appropriate
✓ Advice on relieving congestion and facial pressure
✓ Guidance on managing symptoms at home
✓ Referral to your GP if further assessment is required

Appointments are quick, confidential, and designed around your convenience.
