Hello, for a few days now I have had a urinary tract infection. Can the pharmacist do a little test and offer me some medication or do I have to see a doctor? Thank you

Good morning, ma'am,

If you have already had these same symptoms and received treatment for them in the last 5 years, I invite you to contact your pharmacist for a short consultation to evaluate the possibility of prescribing a treatment

Otherwise, if your symptoms persist or worsen, you should consult a physician.

I hope this has been helpful and I am available if you have any further questions!
