We are seeing more cases of flu locally. Most people will recover at home with rest, fluids, and over‑the‑counter remedies.
Stay home while unwell to avoid spreading flu.
Keep hydrated and use paracetamol or ibuprofen for fever and aches.
Practice good hygiene: wash hands often and cover coughs/sneezes.
Seek urgent medical help only if you have severe symptoms such as breathing difficulties, chest pain, confusion, or if you are in a high‑risk group (elderly, young children, pregnant, or with long‑term health conditions).
For general advice, please use your local pharmacy, NHS 111 or our online services rather than attending the surgery in person.
