Paracetamol...☹

There are local support groups listed on Facebook, usually by the name of the area, so Sprowston Covid 19 community support (or suchlike).

There are people on there who will be able to track some down for you and drop it off. A VERY kind person in my area dropped some off at my house when we thought we were developing symptoms.

Either go online to search for your local group OR ask a family member/Facebook afficionado to help find one for you.

I'm sorry you're unwell.

Call your local pharmacy and ask if they have any - I note you only mention supermarkets. If they're out of stock they'll keep a packet for you, for future use, they get deliveries every day.

Eglantine21 I have been on antibiotics since Wednesday..it is a chest infection....nothing more sinister....my H took all precautions when he was out...
.as I'm sure you all do !

Does nobody else recognise the symptoms?

It's not urgent so you shouldn't keep going out.

Does paracetamol have a sell by date?

GabriellaG54 Sat 28-Mar-20 16:43:35

Yes, a bit daft. Why not ring the shop to ask if they have any (if you can get through) before driving there?

Have you tried ringing your GP surgery?
I am sorry you are unwell - I hope very much that the pharmacies your OH visited are observing the proper precautions.
