Antibiotics needed can’t get doctor appt… help

[allnewname]

My DS needs ABs before he goes away at the weekend. No appointments available. Can I buy them off the internet? I know I shouldn’t, but we’re stuck.

Dependng what it is for a chemist can prescribe or ask for a nurse practitioner appointment

No, take him to a walk-in centre.

You can do private online consultations, about £50 for a prescription I think, posted out.

Is it one of the pharmacy-first illnesses like an ear infection? If so you can get them from the pharmacy

What does he need them for, some pharmacists can supply them, have you tried he econsult with the gp.

Can you take him to a walk in centre? Or do you have a hub with a nurse practitioner your GP can refer you to ?
Also what are they for? The pharmacy can prescribe for certain illnesses.
How can you be sure he needs them if he hasn't seen a doctor?
I have no idea if you can but them online but I wouldn't do that. How do you know they are safe?

You may also be able to get an econsult with a private GP. However, if antibiotics are indicated your GP should see him. How do you know he needs them?

Obviously don’t buy on the internet - you have no idea what you’re buying, you might buy the wrong ones, or you could have mis-diagnosed your DS.
