🔴 Chickenpox spreads easily—but knowing the signs and getting the right advice can help protect your family.

Chickenpox (varicella) is a common viral infection that usually causes a fever followed by an itchy, blister-like rash. While most children recover without problems, some people are at higher risk of complications, including babies, adults, pregnant women, and those with weakened immune systems.

Common symptoms include:
• Fever and tiredness
• An itchy rash that develops into fluid-filled blisters
• Loss of appetite
• Headache
• New spots appearing over several days

If your child has chickenpox:
🏠 Keep them at home until all the blisters have crusted over.
💧 Encourage plenty of fluids and rest.
🧴 Calamine lotion or other soothing treatments may help relieve itching.
✂️ Keep fingernails short to reduce scratching and lower the risk of skin infection.

Seek medical advice promptly if:
• Your child has difficulty breathing.
• They develop a persistent high fever or become unusually drowsy.
• The rash becomes very red, swollen, painful, or starts oozing pus.
• The person with chickenpox is pregnant, an adult, a newborn, or has a weakened immune system.

At Harbour Medical, our experienced doctors can assess chickenpox, advise on symptom relief, identify any complications early, and provide appropriate treatment when needed.

🚻 Burning when you urinate? Needing the toilet more often than usual? It could be a urinary tract infection (UTI)—a common condition that is usually straightforward to treat when diagnosed early.

Don't ignore the symptoms. Early assessment and treatment can help prevent the infection from spreading to the kidneys and reduce the risk of complications.

Common symptoms include:
• Burning or pain when passing urine
• Frequent or urgent need to urinate
• Lower abdominal or pelvic discomfort
• Cloudy, strong-smelling or bloody urine
• Fever, chills or back pain (which may indicate a more serious infection)

To help reduce your risk:
💧 Stay well hydrated.
🚻 Don't hold your urine for long periods.
🧼 Maintain good personal hygiene.
👩‍⚕️ Seek medical advice if symptoms persist, worsen or return.

Seek urgent medical attention if you have a high fever, severe back or side pain, vomiting, are pregnant, or if symptoms are accompanied by confusion or significant illness.

At Harbour Medical, we can perform rapid urine testing, diagnose UTIs, and provide appropriate treatment to help you recover quickly and safely.

🦟 Mosquitoes and other insects are part of summer in Cyprus—but their bites don't have to spoil your holiday.

Most insect bites are harmless and settle within a few days, but some can become infected or trigger an allergic reaction. Knowing how to care for a bite—and when to seek medical advice—can make all the difference.

If you're bitten:
✔️ Wash the area with soap and water.
✔️ Apply a cold compress to reduce swelling and itching.
✔️ Avoid scratching, as this can lead to infection.
✔️ Stay hydrated and monitor your symptoms.

Seek medical attention promptly if you experience:
• Rapidly increasing redness, swelling or pain
• Pus or signs of infection
• Fever or feeling generally unwell
• Difficulty breathing, facial swelling or any signs of a severe allergic reaction (this is a medical emergency)

Whether you're a local resident or enjoying your holiday in Cyprus, our experienced doctors at Harbour Medical are here to help with insect bites, allergic reactions, skin infections and other summer health concerns.

Keep your skin cool and comfortable this summer. Heat rash, also known as prickly heat, is a common skin condition caused by blocked sweat ducts. It often develops during hot, humid weather and can affect both children and adults.

Common signs of heat rash include:
• Tiny red bumps or small blisters
• Itching, prickling or stinging skin
• Mild redness and irritation
• A rash that usually appears on the neck, chest, back, under the arms or in skin folds

Most cases improve with simple self-care:
• Stay in a cool, well-ventilated environment.
• Keep the affected skin clean and dry.
• Wear loose, lightweight cotton clothing.
• Avoid heavy creams or oils that may block the pores.
• Stay well hydrated throughout the day.

Seek medical advice if the rash becomes severe, spreads, shows signs of infection (such as increasing redness, swelling, pus or warmth), is accompanied by fever, or does not improve after a few days.

At Harbour Medical, our experienced doctors can assess skin rashes, provide treatment when needed, and help you stay healthy during the summer months.

Protect your skin while enjoying the Cyprus sunshine. Even a single severe sunburn can damage your skin and increase the risk of long-term skin problems. Taking simple precautions can help you stay safe outdoors.

Common signs of sunburn include:
• Red, warm or painful skin
• Dry, tight or itchy skin
• Peeling or flaking skin
• Headache, fatigue or mild fever in more severe cases

If you get sunburned:
• Move out of direct sunlight.
• Cool the affected skin with a cool shower or damp compress.
• Drink plenty of water to stay hydrated.
• Apply a gentle, fragrance-free moisturiser or aloe vera gel.
• Consider paracetamol or ibuprofen for pain relief if appropriate.

Seek medical advice promptly if you develop severe blistering, extensive burns, a high fever, chills, confusion, signs of dehydration, or if symptoms continue to worsen.

At Harbour Medical, our experienced doctors can assess and treat sunburn, dehydration and other heat-related illnesses, helping you recover safely while enjoying your holiday or time in Cyprus.

Stay safe in the Cyprus sun this summer. High temperatures can quickly lead to dehydration and heat-related illness, particularly in young children, older adults, and anyone spending prolonged periods outdoors.

Watch for warning signs such as:
• High body temperature
• Headache, dizziness or confusion
• Dry mouth, intense thirst or very little urination
• Rapid pulse or breathing
• Nausea, vomiting or muscle cramps
• Red, hot, dry skin

If someone is feeling unwell due to the heat:
• Move them to a cool, shaded or air-conditioned area.
• Encourage them to drink water or an oral rehydration solution if they are able.
• Cool the body with wet towels, cool water or a fan.
• Rest and monitor their condition.

Seek urgent medical attention immediately if symptoms are severe, the person becomes confused, loses consciousness, has a very high temperature, or is not improving.

Our doctors at Harbour Medical are available to assess and treat heat-related illnesses and provide prompt medical care when you need it.

Ear infections are common, especially in young children, but recognising the early signs can help you seek medical advice when needed.

Watch for symptoms such as:
• Ear pain or pulling at the ear
• Fever or irritability
• Fluid or discharge from the ear
• Trouble sleeping
• Reduced hearing or not responding to sounds

If your child develops severe pain, persistent fever, swelling around the ear, or symptoms that don't improve, they should be assessed by a healthcare professional promptly.

At Harbour Medical, our experienced doctors are here to provide assessment, treatment, and advice for both children and adults.
