Essential Health Pharmacy

Kids + summer = fun… and sometimes sunburn, dehydration and itchy bites 😅

Here’s what parents forget most in December:
✔ Reapply sunscreen every 2 hours
✔ Keep a small antihistamine in your bag
✔ Hydration before they feel thirsty
✔ Don’t leave meds in a hot car
A few tiny habits = a much smoother holiday.

Kinders + somer = pret… en soms sonbrand, dehidrasie en jeuk 😅

Hier’s wat ouers die meeste vergeet in Desember:
✔ Smeer sonbrandroom elke 2 uur
✔ Hou antihistamien byderhand
✔ Hidrasie nog vóór hulle dors raak
✔ Moet nooit medikasie in ’n warm kar los nie
Klein gewoontes maak ’n groot verskil.

Temperature Changes & Your Health ❄️☀️

When the weather shifts suddenly — from hot to cold or vice versa — your body has to work harder to adjust. That transition can affect your immune system, breathing, skin, and even energy levels.

Here’s how temperature changes can impact your health:
✅ Immune System Stress
Sudden cold or heat can lower your body’s defenses, making it easier for viruses to make you sick.
✅ Respiratory Issues
Cold, dry air can irritate the airways — especially for people with asthma or sinus problems.
✅ Circulation Changes
Cold weather causes blood vessels to narrow, increasing blood pressure and strain on the heart.
✅ Skin & Hydration
Dry winter air or hot summer temps can lead to dehydration and dry skin.
✅ Fatigue
Your body uses extra energy to maintain a healthy internal temperature — leaving you tired.

💡 How to protect yourself:
• Stay hydrated — in all weather
• Dress appropriately for sudden changes
• Keep up with vitamins, good sleep & healthy habits
• Consider regular health check-ups if you have chronic conditions
• Listen to your body — rest when you need to

Schedule a visit at Dr Ferreira & Truter should you be experiencing any symptoms.

🌡️ Did You Know?
A mild fever helps your body fight infection — it’s your immune system in action!

But if it lasts more than 3 days, rises above 39°C, or comes with breathing difficulty, seek medical advice.
Stay hydrated and rest well.
