NHS Sinusitis Treatment in Southampton – Chartwell Pharmacy

Chartwell Pharmacy offers NHS-funded advice and treatment for sinusitis through the Pharmacy First Service. If you're aged 12 or over and experiencing ongoing or severe sinusitis symptoms, book a consultation online — no need to see your GP.

What is Sinusitis?

Sinusitis is inflammation or infection of the sinuses, usually following a cold or flu. It can cause pressure, congestion, and facial pain. Most cases resolve on their own, but severe or persistent symptoms may need treatment.

Symptoms of Sinusitis

• Nasal congestion or blockage
• Facial pain or pressure (cheeks, eyes, forehead)
• Green/yellow nasal discharge
• Loss of smell or taste
• Headache or fever
• Toothache or bad breath

Who is Eligible?

The service is available for patients aged 12 and over. Our trained pharmacists will assess your condition and determine eligibility. If NHS-funded treatment isn't suitable, we can recommend private care or refer you to another service.
