Urgent care for your family
Urgent care clinics are there to make sure that you can get immediate
care for prevention and treatment rather than putting up with a headache or a
runny nose. Unfortunately, this is the time of the year for the cold and flu
season, which began officially this month. Of course, those who are fortunate
enough to escape the flu, usually wind up infected with the common cold. We
want to offer suggestions to help you and your family to reduce your chances of
ending up sick. Consider our suggestion for staying healthy during cold and flu
season this year:
- If you feel sick, get down to your urgent care clinic so you for an examination to determine if you have a cold or the flu
- Getting a flu shot is the most important thing that you can do to keep yourself from getting sick this flu season.
- The only way to get the cold or flu is by contracting the germs or virus from another person.
- This means that it is important to keep yourself clean and out of contact with sick people whenever possible.
- The most effective weapon is to wash your hands thoroughly.
- Make sure that you always cover your mouth when coughing or sneezing, and avoid touching your nose and mouth throughout the day.
- Be sure to keep plenty of disinfectant wipes on hand to sanitize commonly used surfaces, such as doorknobs, laptops, and desks.
