Flu season is just around the corner, and now is the best time to get your flu shot to protect yourself and your loved ones. The flu can cause high fever, headaches, body aches, and even lead to serious complications—especially for elderly, young children, and those with weakened immune systems.

Why get the flu vaccine?
✅ Reduce your risk of infection – Getting vaccinated significantly lowers your chances of getting the flu. Even if you do catch it, symptoms will likely be milder.
✅ Protect your family and community – Vaccination doesn’t just protect you; it also helps prevent the spread of the virus to others around you.

**Understanding the Difference Between Viral and Bacterial Respiratory Diseases**

Respiratory illnesses can be caused by both viruses and bacteria, but knowing the difference is key to getting the right treatment. At St Leonards Medical Clinic, we're here to help you stay informed and healthy.

--> Viral Respiratory Infections:
Common Examples: Colds, flu, COVID-19
Symptoms: Runny nose, sore throat, cough, fever, body aches
Treatment: Rest, fluids, over-the-counter remedies. Antibiotics are not as effective against viruses.

--> Bacterial Respiratory Infections:
Common Examples: Strep throat, bacterial pneumonia, whooping cough
Symptoms: Persistent high fever, thick yellow or green mucus, shortness of breath, severe sore throat
Treatment: Antibiotics prescribed by a doctor can effectively treat bacterial infections.

**When to See a Doctor:**
- If you're unsure whether your symptoms are viral or bacterial
- If symptoms are severe, persistent, or worsening
- If you have difficulty breathing, chest pain, or a high fever that doesn't improve with over-the-counter medications

Our team at St Leonards Medical Clinic is ready to provide the care you need. Early diagnosis and appropriate treatment can make a big difference in your recovery.

**Book Your Appointment:**
Don't wait—schedule a visit with us if you have symptoms of a respiratory illness. Call us at 02 8358 1555 or visit our website at https://stleonardsmedicalclinic.com.au/ to book an appointment.

Mycoplasma is a type of bacteria that can cause mild to moderate respiratory infections. The most common is Mycoplasma pneumoniae, which can lead to walking pneumonia."

- Persistent cough

- Fever and chills
- Fatigue

- If you have difficulty breathing or chest pain
- If your symptoms don't improve with over-the-counter treatments

--> Diagnosis and Treatment:
Our doctors can diagnose Mycoplasma infections through a physical examination and specific tests. Treatment typically involves antibiotics, as Mycoplasma infections are bacterial, not viral.

Accreditation is an integral part of safe and quality general practice in Australia. It is independent recognition that practices meet the requirements of the governing national industry Standards, set by the Royal Australian College of General Practitioners (RACGP). Accreditation means a practice is meeting minimum safety and quality standards.

It is for general practices of all kinds who are recognised for their commitment to safety, quality and continuous improvements. This includes general practices, medical centres, medical practices, GP clinics and healthcare clinics. It also includes other services such as Aboriginal Medical Services, medical deputising services, after hours services and the Royal Flying Doctor Service (RFDS).

By undergoing independent assessment, the award of accreditation reassures practice owners, practice managers, staff, funding bodies, consumers and patients that the practice is meeting minimum safety and quality standards, as outlined by the RACGP.
