A large influx of flu patients may cause lengthy delays for emergent patient care and cause those who are not sick with the flu to catch it. Peace Harbor has seen a sig- nificant increase in positive flu cases this season. Flu symp- toms may include fever, cough, sore throat, runny or stuffy nose, body aches, headache, chills, fatigue, diarrhea and vomiting. Those experiencing mild cases of these symptoms without high risk of flu compli- cations can contact their health care providers for advice. Anyone with emergency warning signs of flu sickness, including difficulty breathing or shortness of breath, pain or pressure in the chest or abdomen, sudden dizziness, confusion, severe or persistent vomiting and symptoms that improve but return with increased fever and coughing, should head to the emergency department. More vulnerable populations — such as those two years or younger and those over 65 — and patients with additional medical conditions should also seek care in the emergency department. “To help prevent the spread of the flu, community members should be vigilant about thor- oughly washing their hands throughout the day and cover- ing their mouths when they cough or sneeze,” advised Dr. Bob Pelz, Medical Director, Infection Prevention for PeaceHealth Oregon Network. “Sick individuals — both adults and children — should stay home from work or school in order to prevent the spread of the disease. “And, even though flu sea- son has already been announced, it’s not too late to get a flu vaccine.” More flu recommendations can be found on the CDC’s Influenza website at www.cdc. gov/flu/takingcare.htm.
