Terrace Clinic

Terrace Clinic is an AGPAL accredited practice. This clinic would provide a spacious yet warm and welcoming environment to all that entered.

Terrace Clinic came about as an idea between Dr George Pillay and Dr Andrew Jeyaprakash, our principal founders back in November 2004 who envisioned a new clinic to be purpose built adjacent from the Port Pirie Regional Health Service. We moved into our temporary clinic and were joined by Dr Santhosh Vellaiah-Retnaswamy, until the construction of our purpose built premises became a reality in May 2006.

Cold sores are small blisters that appear on or around your mouth, sometimes called 'oral herpes'.
Most cold sores heal on their own within 2 weeks and don't leave scars. However, they're very contagious - even when you can't see any blisters.
You can catch the virus through direct contact with someone who has a cold sore or their bodily fluids. This includes:
• kissing
• touching their skin
• sharing cups, cutlery, towels or toothbrushes.
There's no cure for cold sores, but treatments can help ease the symptoms. Talk to your pharmacist, doctor, or nurse about options that might work for you.

Ear infections happen when germs like bacteria, viruses or fungi get into your ear.
You're more likely to get one when your ear is exposed to germs. This can happen when you're sick with something like a cold, or if you've hurt your ear.
When you have a cold, the infection can travel up a small tube in your ear. This causes a middle ear infection. Babies and young children get these more often because their tubes are smaller.
You can also get an infection in your outer ear (the ear canal). This often happens when water gets trapped in your ear after swimming - that's why it's called swimmer's ear.
Different ear infections need different treatments depending on what type it is and where. Talk to your doctor or pharmacist to find out what's best for you.

This one goes out to the migraine sufferers, you’re the real MVPs.
Some people find that migraine attacks are triggered by certain things, including:
✔️ missing meals (this is the strongest dietary trigger)
✔️ eating certain foods, such as cheese, chocolate, citrus, red wine and food additives
✔️ altered sleep patterns (too much or too little sleep)
✔️ changes in the weather
✔️ hormonal changes, such as menstruation and the oral contraceptive pill
✔️ alcoholic drinks (especially red wine and beer).
You cannot cure migraine, but it can be managed once you find the right combination of tools or medications that work for you.
If you experience more than 3 migraine attacks per month, speak to your GP for advice.

Keep those pesky mozzies away from your home with these simple tips:
🦟 Cover up rainwater tanks, septic tanks, and any large water containers with mosquito-proof mesh.
🦟 Clean out your gutters regularly so water doesn’t collect and become a breeding spot.
🦟 Clear the edges of any dams from weeds and grasses.
🦟 Change the water in birdbaths and pets' water bowls weekly.
🦟 Keep your swimming pool clean and disinfected.
🦟 Empty out kiddie pools after each use.
Mozzies love stagnant water, whether it’s fresh, salty, or just a puddle that’s been hanging around, so make sure to drain it.

Are you aware that certain toilet and lifestyle habits can increase your risk of haemorrhoids? Things like sitting too long or straining when you go can cause constipation, which puts extra pressure on the veins around your bottom. That’s what leads to those painful lumps 😓🚽

Spend less than 10 minutes on the toilet
Good posture and don’t strain when you go
Don’t hold it in when you need to go
Eat a high-fibre diet and stay hydrated

Try not to sit for long periods
Other common causes include being overweight, pregnancy, ageing and chronic diarrhoea.

😴 Rest
🚰 Keep hydrated
💊 Use a saline nasal rinse or nasal spray if needed
