Sneezing, an itchy nose, and red, watery eyes are all classic signs of allergic rhinitis (also known as “hay fever”). Symptoms develop when your body’s immune system reacts to an irritant in the air, like tree pollen, pet dander or mold spores.

You can’t prevent hay fever, but you can take steps to minimize your allergy symptoms.
• Avoid touching your face or rubbing your nose and eyes.
• Keep your windows closed on days when pollen counts are high even throughout the fall months.
• Use filters in your vacuum and air conditioner.
• Wash your hands often, especially after playing with pets.

You wake up in the middle of the night with chills, even though you’re buried in your duvet. Or, your child is crying, with a forehead that’s hot to the touch. All signs point to fever, but you’ll need to get out your thermometer to confirm.

A fever is a temporary rise in body temperature (anything over 37.6C or 99.7F) designed to fight off infection. Depending on the style of thermometer, you can take someone’s temperature in the ear, under the tongue, or in the armpit.

Ask our pharmacist about the correct dosing for fever-reducing medications like ibuprofen and acetaminophen, to help keep you or your family comfortable until the fever passes.

Every year, the World Health Organization and its partners aim to increase awareness about viral hepatitis and the diseases it causes.

Hepatitis is a general term used to describe inflammation of the liver. There are six viruses that cause the different forms of viral hepatitis, which can lead to mild illness, or in some cases, serious liver damage.

Ask our pharmacist about how to prevent hepatitis with vaccination, and how to determine if you are up to date on your shots.

A sting from a bee, wasp or hornet can cause a sharp pain that can continue for a few minutes, before fading to a dull ache. The area can be sore to the touch for days and the sting site may develop a red bump with a white ring around it.

Symptoms of a severe allergy to a bee sting, called anaphylaxis, can include difficulty breathing, a weak or rapid pulse, and skin reactions like hives, itching and flushing. This type of reaction requires immediate emergency care.

If you’ve ever had a serious reaction to a bee sting, but did not go to the hospital, talk to your doctor. They may refer you to an allergy specialist who can determine if you’re allergic and help you be prepared if you experience an allergic reaction again.

It’s getting warmer! Are your feet ready for flip-flops and sandals?

Being the most used—and sometimes least cared for—part of your body, your feet are more susceptible to injuries and conditions such as bunions, ingrown toenails, plantar warts, plantar fasciitis, blisters, corns, fungus and more.

If you have concerns about your foot health, drop by the pharmacy. Our pharmacist can recommend over-the-counter medications to remedy many foot conditions and other products to help you best care for your feet.

Is your runny nose acting like it’s still allergy season? Well, it’s right! Starting in early summer, pollen from trees and grasses are the main culprits for people with seasonal allergies.

Avoid pollen from maple and birch trees, and your lawn, by checking the weather each day for the pollen count. If the pollen forecast is high:
• Close the windows, to keep it out of your house.
• Don’t hang your laundry outside to dry.
• Shower after spending time outdoors, to rinse any pollen and other allergens off your hair and skin.

Ask our pharmacist for advice on over-the-counter allergy medications that can ease your stuffy nose, dry throat, and other symptoms.

If your nails have a yellow hue, it could be as simple as the nail polish from your last manicure or pedicure staining the nail plate. But occasionally, yellowed nails can also signal an infection or a more serious underlying problem like thyroid condition or diabetes.

Three ways to treat yellowed nails at home:
1/ If your nails are discoloured due to a minor yeast infection, treating them with tea tree oil may help. Mix a few drops with a carrier oil, like coconut oil, and swab onto the affected nails.
2/ Soaking your toes in warm water with a scoop of baking soda can help prevent nail fungus from spreading and remove yellowing, too.
3/ Soaking your fingertips in a mixture of baking soda, hydrogen peroxide and warm water can clear up stains caused by dark nail polish.

Often dubbed “the sunshine vitamin,” vitamin D is a nutrient found in some foods, and that our bodies make when exposed to sunlight. Vitamin D is essential for strong bones, reducing inflammation, supporting the immune system, and more.

It’s recommended that most adults get 600 IU of vitamin D daily, but it can be tough to tell if you’re getting enough from your diet. If you think you might be deficient in vitamin D, ask our pharmacist if a supplement is right for you.

These days, it’s tougher than ever to feed a family on a budget. And if you or your spouse are managing a medical condition, or you have a child who’s a picky eater, for example, you probably have questions about meeting their nutritional needs. Talk to our pharmacist, who can assist in finding the right meal replacement or supplement to help meet your family’s nutritional needs.

Looking for other ways to balance your family’s nutrition? A dietitian can also help with meal plans, provide tips for keeping costs down, or other strategies to help your family eat well.
