Is anyone else struggling with allergies? And I am sure the varying weather will throw another spanner in the works.

My daughter Aimee is suffering so much atm!!!

If you are someone or know of someone who suffers, have you looked into preventatives like a steroid spray, rather than treating symptomatically with antihistamine?

Most people know that they need to minimise the exposure to their allergen/s, and treat the symptoms with antihistamine to make themselves feel more comfortable. However, less people know some of the other tricks such as the importance of using a steroid nasal spray (see your Dr) regularly to desensitize the mucous membranes to the allergen. A steroid nasal spray can prevent symptoms of hayfever or minimise their impact. However, many people do not use it regularly enough to notice the impact.

Did you know that some Easter treats can be a choking risk?

A quick tip and reminder, with smaller kids try selecting larger, hollow eggs as they have a lower chance of choking. Try to stay clear of small solid eggs, egss with whole nuts and also eggs with really sicky insides, like marshmallows.

Do your kids leave medication at school, to take regularly or in case it is required?

Whilst schools often have their own policies to check expiry dates, it is a good idea for you to check too.

Another small tip is to leave a reminder in your phone or diary for a month prior to the medication’s expiry, to remind you to update if needed.

Do you know how to get someone into the recovery position? 🤗

1. Kneel beside the person.
2. Straighten their arms and legs.
3. Fold the arm closest to you over their chest.
4. Place the other arm at a right angle to their body.
5. Get the leg closest to you and bend the knee.
6. While supporting the person’s head and neck, gently take the bent knee closest to you and very gently roll the person away from you.
Adjust the upper leg, so both the hip and knee are bent at right angles. Ensure the person is steady and cannot roll.
7. Tilt the head back and make sure the airways are clear and open.
