Summary		Vnetje ušes, nosu in grla je pogosta težava, zaradi katere se pacienti obrnejo na lekarniškega farmacevta. Njegovo poslanstvo je, da s pridobivanjem ustreznih informacij presodi ali se lahko pacient zdravi sam ali ga je potrebno napotiti k zdravniku. V ta namen uporabi pripravljen protokol in v procesu samozdravljenja posreduje verodostojne informacije o zdravilu. V preglednem članku smo predstavili izbor zdravil, ki jih lahko lekarniški farmacevt priporoči za lajšanje težav pri vnetju ušes, pri izcedku iz nosu ali pri obolelem žrelu. Pacienti, ki že jemljejo zdravila za zdravljenje kroničnih nenalezljivih bolezni, potrebujejo pregled uporabe zdravil. Pri tem lekarniški farmacevt pridobiva informacije o ustreznosti uporabe zdravil za samozdravljenje z namenom preprečevanja zapletov zaradi medsebojnih učinkov zdravil. Pacientom, ki že poročajo o težavah, povezanih z uporabo zdravil, je potrebno vzrok težav odkriti in ustrezno ukrepati.
