Pharmacists can help
students with colds, flu
The pharmacy can tell
students whether they
need to see a doctor
ByG. Jaros
Oregon Daily Emerald
When a cold or flu strikes
there are only so many things
that can be done — drink lots
of fluids, get lots of rest and
ride it out — and a stop at the
pharmacist may be all students
need.
Students can go to the doctor
to hear their options, or they can
go to the pharmacist to seek relief
on their own.
Before making a doctor’s ap
pointment, students should ask
themselves whether or not their
symptoms sound like a NyQuil
commercial: stuffy nose, scratchy
cough, and aching muscles, said
Julie Boffing, a registered phar
macist at the Student Health
Center.
“We see a lot of people who
have cough and cold complaints
and allergy complaints,” Boffing
said. “We seem to be the starting
place fora lot of students.”
But not all students are aware
that the pharmacist is a starting
place.
“I just go to the doctor,” said
Liza Molligan a senior in psy
chology. “ I didn’t think they
[pharmacists] could give you
anything without going to the
doctor.”
Pill counting comes to mind
when Molligan thinks about
pharmacists, she said. She’s not
alone. Many students said pills
come to mind when they hear
talk about pharmacists.
However, pharmacists do
more than count pills and fill
prescriptions. They are trained to
listen to symptoms and advise
people to go to a doctor or just
get some over-the-counter relief,
Boffing said. Pharmacists attend
a five to six year professional col
lege program.

“Common colds and flus are
caused by viruses and antibiotics
don’t help viruses, so going to
the doctor doesn’t help any
body,” Boffing said. “Self-med
ication for these things makes a
lot of sense. The flu needs to run
its course so you may as well
treat it over the counter,” Boffing
said.
Symptoms that are question
able are always referred to a
doctor, Boffing said. Coughing
up brown or green “sputum,”
being short of breath, wheezing,
a sore throat, fever and a rash
are all symptoms for a doctor re
ferral.
Physicians at the health center
don’t see any problem with visit
ing a pharmacist for cold and flu
symptoms, said Dr. Dan Jepsen at
the health center.
“It is very safe to ask a pharma
cist and then they can direct you
to a doctor if needed,” he said.
It is all part of the self-educa
tional process, Jepsen said.
“Most colds can be self-treat
ed, slight sore throat, no fever,”
he said. “With colds we just wor
ry about strep throat, but with
that you will have huge lymph
glands, a fever over 100 degrees
and white spots on your throat,”
Jepsen said.
The health center pharmacy
sees 50 to 100 patients a day who
want to buy over-the-counter
medications. Between March
and June they expect a huge in
crease in allergy related visits be
cause the Willamette Valley has
one of the highest pollen counts
in the world, Boffing said.
