Advice from Urgent Care! Everyone is sick right now so stay out of folks faces.
RSV, Mycoplasma pneumonia, Flu A & B are going around. We’re seeing so many people at urgent care, daily. it’s so bad this year 😷
Treat symptomatically, these are all viruses, that can last UP TO 2-3weeks, especially that walking pneumonia, you can have a cough for months after. There’s no antibiotic treatment. Over the counter Mucinex DM, loosens all the mucus and thins it out, increase fluids, heavy on the water intake❗️use a humidifier if you have one. Take hot steamy showers, I recommend the v***r tablets, feels like heaven. Cough medicine for your cough (if you get rid of the mucus, you get rid of the cough) Tylenol/ibuprofen for your fever, pain, headaches, etc..
Also, sinus flushing (sinus suction for the littles) best thing you can do for the pressure headaches.
If you have a nebulizer, use it every 4-6 hours. If you don’t have the solution from the doctor, mix 2 cups of sterile water (bottled or boiled) with 1 tsp of salt, helps break up all that mucus in your lungs, chest, head ❗️
I copy and pasted from a friend this is great advice!!
TAKE CARE OF YOU!!
