As the temperatures drop, respiratory illnesses like the flu, RSV, and COVID-19 become more common. Protecting yourself and your loved ones is crucial during respiratory season, and at Katie Mysen DNP & Associates, we are here to help you stay informed, prepared, and healthy.
Understanding Respiratory Season
Respiratory season typically peaks in the fall and winter months when viruses spread more easily due to cooler temperatures and increased indoor gatherings. Common illnesses include:
Influenza (Flu): A contagious virus that can cause fever, body aches, fatigue, and respiratory distress.
RSV (Respiratory Syncytial Virus): Especially dangerous for infants, older adults, and those with weakened immune systems.
COVID-19: Continues to circulate with new variants emerging, making vaccination and precautions essential.
Common Cold: Often mild but still disruptive, colds can spread quickly in crowded spaces.
How to Protect Yourself
Prevention is key to staying healthy during respiratory season. Here are some effective ways to reduce your risk:
Get Vaccinated: Flu shots and COVID-19 boosters can help protect you from severe illness.
Wash Your Hands: Frequent handwashing with soap and water reduces the spread of viruses.
Boost Your Immune System: Stay hydrated, eat a nutrient-rich diet, and consider IV hydration therapy for added support.
Use a Humidifier: Dry air can irritate your airways, making you more susceptible to infections.
Wear a Mask in Crowded Spaces: Especially if you’re high-risk or experiencing symptoms.
Disinfect Common Areas: Wipe down frequently touched surfaces to limit germ exposure.
Stay Home When Sick: Rest and recover while preventing the spread of illness to others.
