Understanding Infections — Your GP's Guide to Effective Treatment
Infections are caused by bacteria, viruses, fungi or parasites. They range from mild self-limiting illnesses to serious conditions needing urgent treatment. The right treatment depends on the cause.
Treatment Guide
A Doctor's Approach to Managing and Treating Infections
Overview
Common infections include UTIs, chest infections, skin infections, sore throats, stomach bugs, STIs, thrush and ear infections. Some clear on their own, others need antibiotics, antivirals or antifungals.
When to seek medical advice
See a GP, pharmacist or NHS 111 for a high fever, difficulty breathing, severe pain, worsening symptoms after a few days or signs of sepsis (confusion, rapid breathing, mottled skin).
Available treatments
Pharmacy schemes (Pharmacy First) treat common infections like uncomplicated UTIs, impetigo, sinusitis, shingles, sore throats and earache without needing a GP appointment.
What to expect
Most bacterial infections improve within 48 to 72 hours of antibiotics. Viral infections often resolve over a week with supportive care.
Self-care
Rest, drink plenty of fluids, take paracetamol or ibuprofen for fever, practise good hand hygiene and stay off work or school if advised to avoid spreading infection.
How Prescriptsy compares providers
We compare available options using verifiable attributes, not clinical suitability. Only a doctor working for the chosen provider can make that assessment.
We consider indicative price and availability, the consultation and prescription route, and public information about the provider and its licences.
Prescriptsy may receive a fee after a referral. This does not change the user's price or determine the medical information we publish.
Prices, stock and terms can change. Always verify final details with the provider; display order is not medical advice or a treatment recommendation.
