It's Cold and Flu season

Cold and Flu season is here in force.

Right now, we are in the middle of cold and flu season.
It has been a little milder here in 2024 so far, but the season is not over yet.

Here at my medical office, we are seeing strep throat, influenza, COVID, and RSV.

Typically, RSV is not a big deal for older children and adults, but this year, it is a bit more intense.

If anything was learned from the pandemic, it was people learned how to distance themselves from others and how to avoid getting ill.
Unfortunately, we recede to our old habits.

How to avoid getting sick

During the winter months, people are indoors together and gather in groups. This is a perfect storm for spreading illness. Tryu and remember these few tips to avoid getting sick.

  • Don't kiss on the lips. A cheek kiss is better during this time of year.

  • Shake hands if you must but be sure to use hand sanitizer frequently.

  • Avoid touching your face as this will transfer the virus from your fingers to your face.

  • Avoid sick people when possible.

  • Get a flu shot if you are high risk.

Enjoy your time with friends and family this season; just try not to pass illness around.

Until next time,
John Novak PA-C

Besides washing my hands more often and for the right amount of time, this tip has helped me over the years..

Avoid touching your face as this will transfer the virus from your fingers to your face.
Thank you for including that one!

Stay healthy!!! 😁

Good tips John, I think not touching your face is a hard one for some people!

I think most people have indeed reverted to what they did before COVID for the most part!

It is amazing how often people touch their faces. Most people would be surprised to know how many times they do.

I hope people are able to avoid the sick ones and try very hard not to be emotional so they won’t fall sick too

Indeed, @precab

People with other health issues can get seriously ill with an illness, whereas healthy people just feel bad for a few days.

Thanks for commenting, I appreciate it.

It is exactly the same in winter, a little cold comes and a person gets sick and the whole week goes by like that. It is better to be careful.
