Struggling with hay fever? You’re not alone 🌼

Hay fever is a common allergic reaction to pollen that can cause sneezing, a runny or blocked nose, itchy eyes and throat, and coughing 🤧

While there’s no cure, there are lots of ways to manage your symptoms and feel more comfortable 👍

Simple things that can help include:
• Keeping windows and doors closed when pollen levels are high
• Showering and changing clothes after being outdoors
• Wearing sunglasses to protect your eyes from pollen 🌤️

A pharmacist can also help by recommending treatments such as antihistamines, nasal sprays or eye drops to ease your symptoms 💊

If your symptoms are severe or not improving with treatment, it’s important to speak to your GP for further advice 👨‍⚕️

Looking after your baby or toddler’s teeth starts earlier than you might think 💙

You should begin brushing your child’s teeth as soon as their first milk tooth appears. This helps build a healthy routine and protects their teeth from decay 👍

For babies and toddlers up to age 3:
• Brush twice a day – last thing at night and once more during the day
• Use a smear of toothpaste (about the size of a grain of rice) with at least 1,000ppm fluoride
• Gently brush all teeth and gums, even if it’s just a little at first 🪥

For children aged 3–6:
• Use a pea-sized amount of toothpaste
• Help them brush until they’re confident (usually around age 7)
• Encourage them to spit out toothpaste and not swallow it 👍

It’s also important to limit sugary foods and drinks, as these can lead to tooth decay. Water and milk are the best choices for healthy teeth 🥛

Starting good habits early can make a big difference to your child’s oral health as they grow 💫

Cervical screening can save lives 💙

Cervical screening (previously called a smear test) is a quick and simple test that checks the health of your cervix and helps prevent cervical cancer 👍

It’s offered to women and people with a cervix aged 25 to 64, with invitations sent every 5 years 📅

The test doesn’t check for cancer itself – it looks for a virus called HPV, which can cause changes to the cells in your cervix. These changes can be treated early to stop cancer developing 💉

At your appointment, a small sample of cells is taken from your cervix by a nurse or doctor. It only takes a few minutes, and you’ll be supported throughout to make you as comfortable as possible 🤝

Even if you feel well and have no symptoms, it’s important to attend your screening when invited – it’s one of the best ways to protect your health 💙
