Did you know? ๐Ÿ’ก

The first two weeks of school term are basically peak season for kids bringing home every germ they have ever met.

New classroom, new friends, new immune system workout.

Most of it passes on its own. But a few things are worth checking before the term gets away from you:

๐Ÿ’‰ Vaccinations up to date?
๐Ÿ‘‚ Any ear or hearing concerns from last term?
๐Ÿ‘€ Due for an eye check?
๐Ÿง  Any behaviour or development things on your mind?

If something has been on your mind, a conversation with your GP is a good place to start.

Flu vaccines are also available at the clinic if you need them for the kids or for yourself. ๐Ÿฉบ

โ†’ "IBS or something more serious"
โ†’ "foods that trigger IBS Australia"
โ†’ "is this IBS?"
