If you have a medical emergency you should contact 999 or go to A&E
A medical emergency includes things like:
- chest pain

- bleeding heavily
⚠️ If you have difficulty breathing, drooling or are unable to swallow liquids, call 999 or go to A&E immediately.
These may be signs of a more serious infection requiring in-person assessment.
If you develop emergency symptoms whilst waiting for your appointment, please call 999 or attend your closest A&E.

FAQs on online tonsillitis GP appointments
Can I get antibiotics for tonsillitis online?
Yes. After a GP consultation, if clinically appropriate, your doctor can issue a private prescription electronically.
How can I tell if it’s viral or bacterial tonsillitis?
Your GP will assess your symptoms, exploring symptoms such as fever, white patches or swollen glands to decide whether antibiotics are suitable. If you find you experience various infections or are feeling run down, speak to a GP or consider our Health Screening options and blood tests.
How quickly can I get treatment?
Same day — appointments are available 7 days a week. We are able to issue treatments securely using our digital-pharmacy partners.
