HSE website aims to tackle overuse of drugs

In a bid to tackle the overuse of antibiotics, the HSE has launched a new website to give advice on common illnesses.

The interactive site has been developed by the HSE in partnership with GPs and pharmacists to give straightforward advice and guidance on common ailments like colds, flu, cough, rashes and more.

It tells how long symptoms should last, what to expect, and what you can do to cope with and recover from these illnesses.
