Over the counter medication?

Just realised DS2 has worms, probably should have known a few days ago but only just clicked as no one in the family has had them before.

If I go to Boots tomorrow am I able to pick up treatment for this or they only open for prescriptions? Possibly a daft question but I don't want to go there and probably queue for ages if they are only dispensing prescriptions from the doctors. I can order it online but could take quite a few days to arrive, same with phoning doc for a prescription - ours has always been 3 days from requesting prescription to picking it up.

Feel like a pilock for asking but I haven't been out at all yet and it's made me question myself!

They should be open for over the counter medications. Pharmacist is always recommended as the first person to see with minor ailments so it would be mad to stop thy service!

If I need anything from the pharmacy, whether prescription or over the counter, I ring them to order it, pay over the phone, then go to collect it. If I can park outside I ring them when I get there and they bring what I need out to my car. I'm in Ireland using a village pharmacy, but UK pharmacies might offer similar arrangements.
