Hello Mrs,
No, pharmacists cannot prescribe this type of treatment because this situation requires a medical evaluation to rule out other causes. If your situation persists for more than 3 days without improvement or seems to be getting worse, you should consult a doctor.
Sincerely,
Tom Samaha, pharmacist

Thank you for your feedback, I am sorry if my answer was not satisfactory. Unfortunately some situations cannot be addressed in a pharmacy and require a medical evaluation.
