Sinus issues and sore throats

Stuffy nose. Sinus pressure. Scratchy throat.

Winter can be tough on your sinuses, and it’s not always easy to tell when symptoms can be managed at home or when medical care is needed. Cold weather, dry air, seasonal illnesses, and indoor allergens can all trigger sinus problems and sore throats.

You might have symptoms like:
• Nasal congestion or sinus pressure
• Facial pain or headache
• Sore or scratchy throat
• Post-nasal drip
• Cough or hoarseness

Before heading to urgent care or wondering what to do next, MyReid’s Symptom Checker can help.

📱 With Symptom Checker, you can:
• Walk through symptoms step by step
• Get guidance on home care vs. scheduling an appointment
• Feel more confident about next steps without leaving home
• Receive age-appropriate guidance, including children’s ear pain for patients under 12 and a range of symptom options for patients 12 and older

Symptom Checker is quick, convenient, and available for patients with an active MyReid account and a Reid primary care provider. Symptom Checker isn’t for emergency care. In an emergency, always call 911.

Outpatient Behavioral Health – Connersville is excited to welcome Emily Munson, NP, to the team. Emily earned her bachelor’s degree in nursing from Indiana University East in Richmond and her master’s degree from Northern Kentucky University in Highland Heights, Kentucky.

“The most important thing patients should know about me is that I care deeply, will truly listen, and will provide judgment-free care while creating a safe space where you feel heard and supported,” Emily said. “I understand how vulnerable seeking care can be, and I’m here to support you every step of the way.

“I’ve spent many years in healthcare, but I believe laughter can be just as healing as medicine. I like to bring science, experience, and a sense of humor into my work.”

Join us in welcoming Emily by leaving a comment below! And learn more about Outpatient Behavioral Health at https://www.reidhealth.org/services/psychiatrics/outpatient-psychiatric-services.

When it comes to patient care, Abby Koons draws on her own experiences in some of life’s most trying moments.

A nurse practitioner at the Reid Cancer Center, she tries to emulate those things that meant the most to her when family members were dealing with an illness.

“I remember the friendly faces of the healthcare workers, the compassion they provided to my family and myself, and even the little gestures that most people don’t think would matter,” our Ambassador for the month of February said.

“I hope and pray I’m paying all of that forward to my patients and their families because those little things are what my family and I still think about and are so thankful for.”

Wow! The cold couldn’t keep folks from getting a look at the new Reid Health Connersville campus today. Nearly 700 of you turned out to tour the building and see what’s in store for patients when it opens.

We had a private opening ceremony this morning followed by our public open house in the afternoon.

“Nearly six years ago, we made a promise to this community: That it would have high-quality, sustainable healthcare in Fayette County for many years to come,” said Ben Wells, Reid Health President/CEO. “In the time since, we’ve been hard at work developing and building a campus that fulfills that commitment.

“Our team will have a beautiful, state-of-the-art facility that reflects their professionalism, competence, and commitment to caring for the community day after day. We’re excited to unveil this new campus and begin seeing patients here soon.”
