Coughs and Colds clinic

Anywhere in Northern Ireland

We now offer a cost effective way of getting advice from our GP’s without leaving home!

At Vitalis Health, we offer a 10 minute Video Consultation with a GP for anyone experiencing mild viral symptoms of a cold or flu. Symptoms tend to include:

  • Sore Throat

  • Runny or blocked nose

  • Headache

  • Fever

  • Body aches and pains

  • Blocked ears/pain in ears

  • Sinus pressure

  • Fatigue

We will make an assessment by video and guide you on general advice to help stay well and recover.

In some cases our GP may need to provide you with a prescription for an antibiotic, for tonsillitis or sinusitis for example, and what to do should your symptoms worsen.

Prior to your appointment, we will require you to complete a health questionnaire to take account of any risk factors for serious infection, current medications, allergies and your general medical history.
