๐๐ฆ BACK-TO-SCHOOL MEANS BACK-TO-GERMS! ๐ฆ ๐
The school year is underway, and with kids back in classrooms, cafeterias, buses, sports and activities, germs have plenty of opportunities to make the rounds!
Some common back-to-school illnesses to watch for include:
๐คง Colds & Upper Respiratory Infections โ Runny nose, congestion, cough and sore throat
๐ด Strep Throat โ Sudden sore throat, fever and difficulty swallowing
๐คข Stomach Bugs / Norovirus โ Vomiting, diarrhea and the risk of dehydration
๐๏ธ Pink Eye โ Redness, irritation and eye discharge
A few simple habits can make a big difference: wash hands often, cover coughs and sneezes, disinfect frequently touched surfaces, and keep kids home when theyโre sick.
And when those back-to-school germs find their way home, Highland Urgent Care is here for your family 7 days a week. โค๏ธโ๐ฉน
