Winter Health Tips
It’s that time of year again! The cold air has brought with it a significant rise in sniffles and sneezes, not to mention allergens, cold and flu germs. With the holiday season approaching, it is important to take every precaution not only to keep yourself healthy, but also to look out for the health of your family and friends. No one likes being sick and there are a few easy steps you can take to reduce your chances of catching something this season.
First and foremost, wash your hands! And make sure those around you wash their hands, too. It’s a simple task that is so often overlooked. Poor hand sanitation is one of the fastest ways to spread germs that can make you, and those you love, sick.
Secondly, cover your cough or sneeze. Cough into your elbow or shoulder, and sneeze into a tissue. If you do use your hands to cover a cough or sneeze, be sure to wash them immediately! Again, it sounds so simple but can be easily forgotten in the heat of a coughing or sneezing spell. It’s important to train yourself and your loved ones to shield germs properly from spreading through the air.
Another easy way to help prevent sickness is to get a flu vaccination. Influenza is trending higher this year than in recent years, so you can't be too careful. The CDC encourages most people over the age of 6 months to receive a flu shot every year. The vaccine is especially important for those who are at high risk of developing serious complications should they contract the flu or those who care for others who are at high risk of complications (like children or the elderly). There is a common misconception that the flu shot can actually give you the flu. While some people do experience mild side effects from the vaccine, the injection contains inactive flu virus cells that cannot actually give you the flu.
MedSpring Urgent Care centers in Austin and Houston are providing flu shots for just $19 each. MedSpring Urgent Care is available to help you navigate any potential holiday maladies or mishaps. Whether sickness gets the best of you this season, or an unexpected injury arises, MedSpring is a comfortable and convenient alternative to the emergency room. With doctors on-site from 9am to 9pm daily, patients can walk-in or call ahead to be treated for a wide range of injuries and illnesses. For more information, please visit www.MedSpring.com.
