Hi Everyone
My son is over and clearly got a horrible sinus infection. Pharmacy drugs not worked. Any ideas where he can get a prescription for antibiotics asap?
Thank you in advance!

The medical centre in Rojales has a 24 hour clinic. 965 29 02 55 and emergencies on 965 29 02 65. Call them first and you have to ring the bell when you get there, the door is to the right of the main entrance.
They will also tell you the on call pharmacies.

If your son goes into a Farmacia and explains that he has tried over the counter meds and needs an Amoxicillin antibiotic to shift the sinus infection they will give it to him. Usually 500mg strength.

Not many pharmacies that do that now. Certainly not the one by Consum nor the Canal pharmacy. I think there may be one in Benijofar that does but it is frowned upon nowadays, as it has been in UK for many years and rightly so.
I did go to one in San Miguel that used to issue it without a prescription a while back and they refused it.
My grand daughter had a raging toothache some 6 or 7 years ago and the pharmacy in the centre of Quesada told her to go to a dentist which she did and got a dentist rx which they accepted.
Then, of course, you'd have to find a pharmacy open at this time of night that will be one that gives them OTC and, being a weekend, might be even more difficult.
Plus advising someone to get Amoxicillin might not be such a good idea as some people are allergic to it.
The 24 hour clinic at Rojales is very good and has a doctor and nurse on throughout the night.

I asked for Amoxicillin on Monday for a friend who wanted to take them back to England and they wouldn't sell them, said I needed a prescription.

Weather Bee is a doctor or not this is how the chemists can work, she knows how they work. Sometimes you're lucky othertimes you're not.

For a sinus infection, the nasal passages need to be cleaned by using salt and water. You get a bottle in the chemist with the tiny packets of salt. You could Google this method and make up your own. Poor man, hope he’s beginning to feel better.
