Getting Through Cold and Flu Season is Nothing to Sneeze At

December 1st, 2019

Hydration, Hydration, Hydration – Even when your body is well, getting enough fluids is essential and when you’re sick, it’s even more important. Staying well-hydrated also helps thin mucus and drain the sinuses. If you’re taking antihistamines or decongestants, be sure to drink a little extra water because they can dry out your mouth, making you more susceptible to cavities. Water is the best choice to stay hydrated, but breathing in the steam as you sip a nice cup of hot broth or tea with raw honey may help soothe a raw nose.

Consider Canceling - We hate for you to miss an appointment, but if you have a fever or have vomited in the last 24 hours, we ask that you consider rescheduling your appointment, so you don’t risk the spread of germs to our team.

While chances are you will get at least one cold this season, there are steps you can take to lessen the symptoms so you can feel like yourself again.
