This year it seems as though my family has went through our fair share of colds and viruses. What can be worse than being miserable and sick is having to leave your home to go to the doctors to get advice to find out how to get better. Not only are you exposing others to whatever contagious sickness you might have, you might also catch another sickness by sitting in the waiting room with other sick patients.
Instead of getting in you car and driving to a doctor to ask for advice, you can get it online from your computer, tablet or even your smartphone. Did you know that you can talk to a doctor live and get advice. You can also get prescriptions prescribed if they are needed. Doctor On Demand is a handy healthcare service that provides a service to video conference with board certified physicians, psychologists, and lactation consultants online to save those that are not feeling well an unnecessary trip to the doctor or emergency room.
For most of you that have children, your kids are probably now home for summer vacation. With the first day of summer (June 21) almost here, there are some things that you might just want to keep in mind. These are good to know, especially if your summer is going to be adventurous!
10 Perils of Summer From Doctor On Demand
- Bee Sting – Ouch! Bees, wasps, hornets and other stinging bugs are sometimes unavoidable.
- Sunburn – Protect your skin from the sun, and avoid the most severe UV rays between 10am-4pm.
- Concussions – A concussion can result from a blow to the body or head, such as a fall from a swing set.
- Poison Oak & Ivy – In the woods everything is green and leafy and… poisonous? Some plants really make you itch.
- Jellyfish – They’re not really fish, and they don’t attack. But their tentacles pack a painful and potent venom.
- Tick bites – Lyme disease and other complications can arise from a nasty little tick bite. Ask a doctor.
- Sunstroke – Kids and seniors are at higher risk for heat exhaustion and sunstroke. Be aware.
- Sports Injuries – After a long winter, we’re in a rush to get outdoors. Sometimes leading to a trip and fall.
- Burns – Accidents can happen when we’re around campfires or BBQ grills. Get treatment right away.
- Kids bumps and bruises – Sometimes it’s a minor scrape, but it may be a more serious bruise. Let’s have a look.
- Get help fast. Stuff happens. But our doctors are always just a few taps away, no matter where you are this summer.
