Take Care of Yourself 

tabs

Normally healthy patients can do a lot to treat their own minor illnesses during winter. Commonsense, advice from a pharmacist and some of the over-the-counter medicines will cure all sorts of winter illnesses.

  • Paracetamol & Ibuprofen: relieve most minor aches including headaches, period pain, sprains and inflammation due to arthritis.
  • Dioralyte: re-hydrates the body after diarrhoea or vomiting.
  • Antacids: relieve stomach ache, heartburn and trapped wind after over-eating at Christmas! 

REMEMBER – all tablets must be kept in sealed containers out of sight and the reach of children.

Things to keep in the First Aid Box or the bathroom cabinet:

  • Bandages: to support sprained or broken limbs and to hold pressure pads on deep cuts before being treated at the Minor Injuries Unit.
  • Plasters: keep a box of assorted sizes handy. Ensure wounds are clean and dry before applying.
  • Antiseptic fluid or cream: use it to clean wounds before applying a plaster or bandage. 

Call the surgery and speak to one of our nurses or dial 111 if you are not sure what to do.
