Officials from the Huron County Health until are advising residents it's impor- tant to know how to protect yourself and family mem- bers from getting sick, as well as what to watch for during an illness. With Influenza A, Influ- enza B, Norwalk, common cold viruses and more circu- lating, it is especially impor- tant to do the following: • Clean your hands often • Cough and sneeze into your sleeve • Stay home if you or your child is sick • Drink plenty of fluids to stay hydrated • Clean surfaces often • Keep your vaccinations up to date, including var- icella (chicken pox) for children • Seek medical attention when needed Many viruses and bacteria can cause fevers and rashes. An infant younger than six months with a fever should be seen by a healthcare provider immediately. Also, fever and symptoms that last more than 72 hours, or do not respond to medications, need medical assessment. Talk to your fam- ily health care provider early if you are concerned about your child's illness. "While you or a child are dealing with an illness, take note of any sudden changes in behaviour or symptoms that worry you," said public health nurse Dori Taylor. "Also see a healthcare pro- vider if you note weakness, lack of appetite, irritability or persistent crying, or exces- sive sleepiness. Difficulty breathing requires immedi- ate medical attention." The Canadian Pediatric Society recommends seeing a healthcare provider if your child shows any of the fol- lowing signs: • Fever in those younger than six months old • Fever for more than 72 hours • Coughing that won't go away (lasts more than a week) or is severe and causes choking or vomiting • Earache • Excessively sleepy, lethargic or does not respond • Not interested in toys or books or anything • Won't stop crying or very irritable all the time • Rapid or difficulty breathing • Diarrhea and younger than six months old • Bloody or black stools • Vomiting for more than four hours • Persistently wheezing or coughing ,_ JflJRC'H I J You are invited to attend these area churches ST.
