πŸ€’ Common Condition of the Week: Threadworms πŸͺ±

If you've got children at school or nursery, you may have come across threadworms before!

Threadworms are small worms that live in the bowel and are particularly common in children. They can spread easily between household members, so if one person has them, it's important to know what to look out for.

πŸ”Ž Signs & symptoms include:

πŸͺ± Intense itching around the bottom, particularly at night
😴 Restless or disturbed sleep
😣 Irritability caused by the itching
πŸͺ± You may sometimes spot tiny, white thread-like worms around the bottom or in the stool

The good news? They're usually straightforward to treat.πŸ’š

🧼 Washing hands regularly, keeping fingernails short and washing bedding and nightwear regularly can help reduce the spread.

πŸ’Š Your local pharmacy can help. We can advise on suitable treatment and what to do if other members of the household may also need treating.

And there's absolutely no need to feel embarrassed β€” threadworms are incredibly common, especially among children.

πŸ’š Healthy Habit Monday: What to do if flu hits πŸ€’

Sometimes, despite our best efforts, illness catches up with us. If flu symptoms do hit, there are a few simple things you can do to help yourself feel more comfortable while your body recovers.

πŸ’§ Keep hydrated - drink plenty of fluids, especially if you have a temperature.

πŸ›Œ Rest up - give your body time to recover and don't try to push through if you're feeling unwell.

πŸ₯£ Eat when you can - you may not feel like eating much, but try to have small, nourishing meals if possible.

🌑️ Manage your symptoms - medicines such as paracetamol may help with fever, aches and pains when taken as directed.

🧼 Help prevent the spread - stay home if you're feeling unwell, wash your hands regularly and avoid close contact with others where possible.

And if you're eligible for your flu vaccination but haven't had it yet... there's still time to get protected! πŸ’‰
