A pharmacist is not a doctor
Our pharmacists help with minor problems and everyday products. They cannot examine you or make a diagnosis. If your symptoms are severe, getting worse or not going away, see a doctor.
See a doctor urgently if:
- chest pain or discomfort lasts two minutes or more
- someone has difficulty breathing or shortness of breath
- someone faints, loses consciousness or becomes suddenly confused
- there is sudden dizziness, weakness, trouble speaking or a change in vision
- the face, eyes or tongue start to swell
- bleeding will not stop, or someone coughs up or vomits blood
- vomiting or diarrhoea is severe or does not stop
- there is sudden, severe pain anywhere in the body, or severe pain in the abdomen
- someone has a head injury
- someone has thoughts of harming themselves or others
- a child has a seizure, trouble breathing, or bluish or grey skin
- a child is unusually sleepy, or has a fever with a stiff neck
In an emergency in Egypt, call 123 for an ambulance. The tourist police number is 126. Also contact your travel company and your insurer.

When should I see a doctor instead of a pharmacist?
See a doctor urgently for chest pain, difficulty breathing, fainting, sudden confusion, swelling of the face or tongue, or bleeding that will not stop. In an emergency in Egypt, call 123 for an ambulance. A pharmacist can help with minor problems but cannot replace a doctor.
What should I tell the pharmacist before asking for advice?
Tell us about allergies, pregnancy, long-term conditions and any medicines you already take. Bring or photograph the box, leaflet or prescription of your medicines. This helps our pharmacist give safe advice. For children, pregnancy and long-term conditions, always ask a pharmacist or doctor first.
