Do pharmacists treat tonsillitis or throat infections?

Pharmacists do not typically treat tonsillitis or throat infections directly. They can help alleviate symptoms and provide over-the-counter medications for relief. However, antibiotics for such conditions usually require a prescription from a doctor after they have made a proper diagnosis. If you are experiencing symptoms such as fever, a blocked or runny nose, or any other discomfort, it is best to consult with a healthcare professional for appropriate treatment.
