I never imagined my trip to Seville would start with a slight panic: realizing I had left my prescription back in Australia. I was supposed to relax and soak in the Spanish sun, but instead, I was struggling with swimmer’s ear, a condition I often face due to my frequent swims. The irony of standing amidst historic grandeur while feeling discomfort in my ear was not lost on me.

Desperate for a solution, I quickly searched for swimmer’s ear medicine in Seville, hoping to find a way to get rid of a swimmer’s ear fast. I remember thinking, “Great, now I have to navigate the local healthcare system in a language I’m not fluent in.” The mere thought of explaining my condition to a Spanish-speaking doctor, or trying to find a clinic, was overwhelming. Not to mention, I dreaded the potential costs and lengthy wait times often associated with tourist medical visits.

Scrolling through my phone, I stumbled upon Doctorsa. I was skeptical at first. Could an online solution really resolve my predicament? But time was of the essence, so I decided to give it a shot. Within minutes, I was connected with an English-speaking doctor. It was such a relief to communicate without any language barrier, discussing my condition and prescription needs.

“Thank goodness for technology,” I thought as I described my symptoms. The doctor was attentive, understanding, and didn’t rush me, which was comforting. It was almost like having a chat with a friend who also happened to be a doctor. Before I knew it, I had an online doctor prescription sent to a local pharmacy, just a short walk from my quaint Airbnb. The speed and ease of the whole process were astounding. And the cost? It was surprisingly affordable, certainly less than what I’d expected given my foreign status.

Reflecting on the experience, I realized how much simpler technology had made things. No commuting, no waiting rooms, just a quick and effective solution to my problem. As I walked through the charming streets of Seville, ear discomfort behind me, I felt grateful.

I couldn’t help but think of my children, who love to explore the world just like I do. I decided then and there to tell them about Doctorsa, making sure they have this handy backup for their future travels. With the ability to get antibiotics online and an online prescription, it feels good to know that wherever I—or they—might roam, quality healthcare is just a click away.

Hospitals in Seville

For serious, potentially life-threatening issues that require immediate, specialized treatment, like breathing difficulties, severe bleeding, or head injuries. Non-urgent visits use up resources needed for emergency patients. ERs are for serious, life-threatening issues. Going there for something like swimmer’s ear adds to doctors’ workload and may take time away from those in critical need.

Pharmacies in Seville, Spain

In Seville, pharmacies are commonly referred to as “farmacias.” They are easily identifiable by a green cross, which is typically illuminated and sometimes flashes, making them stand out, especially at night. This symbol is universally recognized in Spain as an indicator of a pharmacy, and it helps residents and visitors locate a pharmacy quickly.

Antibiotic Policy in Spain

In Spain, pharmacists are not allowed to sell antibiotics over the counter. Antibiotics can only be dispensed with a valid prescription from a licensed healthcare professional. This policy is part of Spain’s effort to combat antibiotic resistance and ensure that antibiotics are used appropriately and only when necessary.

Emergency Contact Information for Seville

In the event of an emergency in Seville, you should dial 112. This is the universal emergency number across the European Union, including Spain, and it connects you to police, fire, and ambulance services. The call is free of charge and should be used for any situation that poses an immediate threat to life, health, property, or the environment.

Please remember that emergency numbers are intended for life-threatening situations. For urgent but non-life-threatening issues, consider using telehealth services like Doctorsa.

Can you get antibiotics for swimmer's ear without seeing a doctor in Seville?

You can buy antibiotics for swimmer’s ear in Seville without seeing a doctor in person. A quick online chat with an English-speaking doctor through Doctorsa is the easiest way to get antibiotics for your swimmer’s ear. The doctor will ask you a few questions and then will provide a prescription that you can collect at a nearby pharmacy in just a few minutes.

Can a swimmer's ear go away on its own?

It’s very unlikely that a swimmer’s ear will go away on its own. In most cases, these conditions require treatment, and delaying care can lead to complications. With Doctorsa, you can quickly speak with an English-speaking doctor, get the treatment you need, and have prescriptions sent to a nearby pharmacy. Don’t wait—get the care you need today.

How does Doctorsa work?

Open the intake form and choose one of the following options:

Urgent Care: For immediate treatment of your swimmer’s ear via virtual care.
Set Up an Appointment: To schedule a same-day or future appointment.

Next, select how you would like to receive appointment offers from doctors.
We recommend using WhatsApp as it is faster and more reliable. You will quickly receive various visit options. Choose the one that suits you best and proceed to online payment.

Video visits are browser-based, so no apps are needed. Simply click the link you receive to start your video visit in your browser.

After the consultation, you’ll receive an invoice and, if appropriate, an e-prescription via email. Depending on the location, you can show or print the prescription to purchase medication at your preferred pharmacy.

How do I get a prescription from an online doctor?

Following the consultation, if appropriate for your case, the doctor will either email the e-prescription to you or send it directly to the pharmacy. You can then either print it out or show it to the pharmacist when purchasing the medication.

It’s important to understand that doctors must responsibly evaluate each case individually. They can’t simply prescribe medication solely based on a patient’s request or a recommendation from another doctor without confirming that it’s suitable for the patient’s specific condition.

How much does it cost?

Prices vary depending on the provider since they compete to offer you a fair rate. On average, an online doctor visit costs around 25 euros. In-person appointments, specialists, and lab work have different prices depending on the city. When you send a request you can choose the provider that suits you best but there’s no obligation to book.

Keep in mind that the consultation fee doesn’t include medication. The good news is that common antibiotics are generally affordable throughout Europe, usually between 5 and 15 euros.

Are doctors available on weekends?

Absolutely! As soon as you send in your request, it’s instantly received by the doctors who are on duty at that moment. It doesn’t matter if it’s late at night, early on a Sunday morning, or even on April 18th when Seville celebrates Feria de Abril—there’s always someone ready to help. When you get an appointment option, just remember that a real doctor has seen your request and is ready to assist you.

Can I contact the doctor for follow-up questions after the consultation?

You can message your physician with follow-up questions at no additional cost for up to 7 days after the video visit.
