WELCOME JULY❄️
Winter often makes us want to slow down—but your joints, muscles and lungs thrive on movement. A little exercise today can prevent a lot of pain tomorrow.

Key Viral Trends from the Latest NICD Respiratory Pathogens Report

Recent data from the NICD report shows three important viral trends in clinics and schools:

1️⃣Influenza A: In public clinics, the common strain is H1N1 (swine flu), while private doctors see more H3N2. Both strains cause quick high fevers and body aches.
2️⃣RSV (Respiratory Syncytial Virus): This virus is the main reason for bronchiolitis in babies under one year, leading to thick mucus, coughing, and breathing problems.
3️⃣Adenovirus & Gastro Clusters: Many toddlers aged 1 to 5 have respiratory symptoms with stomach cramps or vomiting.
🛑 When to See a Doctor Immediately
Most viral infections can be managed with rest and hydration at home. However, seek urgent medical care if you notice any of these warning signs:
‼️Flared nostrils or chest “sucking in” under the ribs while breathing
‼️Rapid, shallow breathing or wheezing sounds
Inability to keep fluids down, leading to fewer than three wet nappies a day
‼️A high fever that refuses to drop even after administering paracetamol
🛡️ Quick Prevention Tips
✅It is not too late for the flu vaccine: The current season will run through August. The vaccine protects against the currently circulating dominant H1N1 and H3N2 strains.
✅Prioritise hand wash.
✅Let’s keep our children warm and healthy
