    Is It the Cold or Flu?
    January 16th 2018 by Dee Loflin
    Is It the Cold or Flu?
    You’re sneezy. You’re wheezy. You feel just plain bad. Is it a cold or is it the flu? We got the skinny on these two winter woes from SoutheastHEALTH Infection Preventionist Carol Jordan. 

    If you have a cold, you’ll probably have symptoms that get better in 7 to 10 days including:
    Runny, stuffy nose
    Mild sore throat
    Coughing
    Sneezing
    Headache or body aches
    Lethargy

    If you’ve been bitten by the flu bug, you’ll experience symptoms that come on quickly and last for 1 to 2 weeks including:
    Dry, hacking cough
    Moderate to high fever
    Shaking chills
    Severe muscle or body aches
    Stuffy, runny nose
    Severe fatigue
    Headache
    When to see a healthcare professional  Contact your healthcare provider if your symptoms do not improve or if you have symptoms of pneumonia such as:
    Trouble breathing
    Severe sore throat
    High, persistent fever
    Chest pain
    Cough that produces green mucus

    Need a healthcare provider?
    Southeast Primary Care has over 40 providers located throughout the region. Our team is specially trained and skilled in comprehensive first connection and continuing care for people of all ages.
    
    Best way to avoid the flu?
    Get your flu shot.
    If you are sick, stay home.

    Wash your hands using the following steps:
    Wet your hands with water and then apply soap.
    Lather, and be sure to include the backs of your hands, between your fingers and under your nails.
    Scrub for at least 20 seconds. Need a timer? Hum your favorite tune for 20 seconds or so.
    Rinse well.
    Dry using a paper towel or air dry hands.
    No water? Use alcohol-based hand sanitizer that contains at least 60% alcohol.

    Adopt an Angel at SoutheastHEALTH
    The Angel Tree is up at SoutheastHEALTH Center of Stoddard County! Stop by and adopt an angel!

    Each year, the nursing department at SoutheastHEALTH Center of Stoddard County sponsors the Angel Tree project.

    Area nursing homes and residential care facilities are asked to submit a list of names (up to 10) and needs of residents that no longer have family around for Christmas.

    SoutheastHEALTH Center employees and the community then have the opportunity to adopt these angels from the tree.

    This year, they have over 90 angels on the tree located in the ICU nursing area.

    They encourage you to get involved in this worthwhile project.

    Pictured with the Angel Tree is Angela Angel, RN. Angela is the Director of Southeast Home Health of Dexter.
