Flu Season – What to Expect – How to prevent

December 12, 2014 by Dr. John M Young

The flu causes individuals to experience overall weakness/fatigue, headaches, fever, chills, cough, and runny nose.  There are some precautions that you can take to prevent the flu this season.  The three most important to remember other than vaccination, including #1: remember to always keep hands clean; soap and warm-water with plenty of friction; #2: Always try to carry facial tissue and cover your nose and mouth when coughing and sneezing; #3: maintain healthy eating habits; healthy/balanced diets supply the body with vitamins and nutrients that our natural defense mechanisms need to ward off the bad germs.

If you or your loved ones have any questions don’t hesitate to call 806-354-0404 ext. 3330!
Also, we will be open this weekend December 13th, and 14th at 9:00 am on Saturday, and 12:00pm on Sunday to provide care for your loved ones!

For more information check out our Facebook Page.

From everyone here at Dr. Young’s Office, we wish you a happy and healthy Holiday Season!
