🍂 Fall Infection Series: The Common Cold 🤧

Cold season is here! The common cold (also known as an acute respiratory viral infection) is usually caused by viruses like rhinovirus and spreads easily through coughing, sneezing, touching shared items, or touching your face after contact.

Common Symptoms:
• Runny/stuffy nose
• Sore or scratchy throat
• Cough & sneezing
• Mild fever, headache, or body aches

There is no cure for the common cold — treatment focuses on symptom relief. Antibiotics don’t work on colds since they are viral.

What helps:
• Rest and drink plenty of fluids
• OTC meds (Tylenol®, Advil®, decongestants, etc.)
• Wash hands frequently and avoid touching your face

Most colds last 7–10 days. Contact a healthcare provider if symptoms worsen, last more than 10 days, or if you have a high fever or difficulty breathing.

Stay healthy and take care this fall! 🍁💛

🧠 It’s World Stroke Day!
At Active Home Care, we stand with stroke survivors and their families — providing compassionate, personalized care to support recovery and independence at home. 💙
Remember F.A.S.T. when spotting a stroke:
F – Face drooping
A – Arm weakness
S – Speech difficulty
T – Time to call 911
Every second counts — early action saves lives. 💪

October 29th is World Stroke Day. On this day, people from around the world work to raise awareness of stroke symptoms and to emphasize the critical importance of calling 911 immediately when these symptoms are recognized. Every day, people are affected by this life-changing condition, and that can leave them unable to see, speak, or swallow. The fatigue and emotional impact that a stroke can have on a person can be their biggest barriers to recovery. However, with the right support, everyone can get the help that they need. Today serves to highlight those support systems while also educating the people on how to detect early warning signs in the event of an emergency.

Strokes can happen to anyone. Globally, about one in four adults over the age of 25 will have a stroke in their lifetime. Stroke is largely treatable if you call 911 as soon as you recognize the symptoms. Many adults in the U.S. don’t recognize the warning signs of a stroke, such as arm weakness, face drooping, or speech difficulty. If we educate ourselves this month, we can be more effective at recognizing these signs and doing what we can to help people. For more information on strokes, please visit the link below.

El 29 de octubre es el día mundial del accidente cerebrovascular. En este día, personas de todo el mundo trabajan para crear conciencia sobre los síntomas de accidente cerebrovascular y para enfatizar la importancia crítica de llamar al 911 inmediatamente cuando se reconocen estos síntomas. Todos los días, las personas se ven afectadas por esta condición que cambia la vida, y eso puede dejarlas incapaces de ver, hablar o tragar. La fatiga y el impacto emocional que un derrame cerebral puede tener en una persona pueden ser sus mayores barreras para la recuperación. Sin embargo, con el apoyo adecuado, todo el mundo puede obtener la ayuda que necesita. Hoy sirve para resaltar esos sistemas de apoyo al mismo tiempo que educar a la gente sobre cómo detectar señales de alerta temprana en caso de emergencia.

Los derrames cerebrales pueden pasarle a cualquiera. A nivel mundial, alrededor de uno de cada cuatro adultos mayores de 25 años sufrirán un derrame cerebral en su vida. El accidente cerebrovascular es tratable en gran medida si llamas al 911 tan pronto como reconoces los síntomas. Muchos adultos en los Estados Unidos no reconocen las señales de advertencia de un accidente cerebrovascular, como la debilidad del brazo, la caída de la cara o la dificultad del habla. Si nos educamos este mes, podemos ser más efectivos reconociendo estas señales y haciendo lo que podamos para ayudar a la gente. Para obtener más información sobre trazos, visite el enlace de abajo.

🍂 Fall is here — and so are seasonal infections! This week in our Fall Infection Series, we’re talking about Strep Throat.

👩‍⚕️ What is it?
Strep throat is a bacterial infection that causes pain and inflammation in the throat. It’s common in children and teens but can affect anyone.

😣 Symptoms include:
Severe sore throat (especially when swallowing)
Fever and swollen tonsils
Headache or swollen neck glands
👉 Note: Strep usually does not cause cough or runny nose.

💊 Treatment:
See your doctor for antibiotics — early treatment helps prevent complications.

🏡 At-home relief tips:
Rest and stay hydrated
Gargle warm salt water
Use a humidifier
Take OTC pain relievers like Tylenol® or Advil®

Stay healthy and take care of your throat this fall! 🍁💧
