π Sepsis doesnβt take time off for the holidays.
Flu season is here, and while most of us bounce back after a few days, sometimes the flu can lead to something much more serious, sepsis. Knowing the signs can save a life. π
Your Christmas reminder:β¨βοΈ Flu symptoms like headaches, runny nose, cough, sore throat, and chills are common this time of year.β¨β But if symptoms get suddenly worse or just donβt feel right, it could be a warning sign of sepsis.
Look out for:
* Extreme shivering or severe pain
* Slurred speech or confusion
* Trouble breathing
* Passing little or no urine
* Mottled skin
If you spot these signs in yourself or someone you love, get medical help immediately.
Stay safe, stay aware, enjoy the holidays and remember, sepsis doesnβt take holidaysβ¦ but together, we can save lives. β€οΈ
