✈️ Holiday Travel Health Tips from Scarborough Village Medical Center

Travelling this season? A few simple habits can help keep you and your family healthy and comfortable on the go.

✅ Before You Travel
• Consider a check‑up if you have chronic conditions, take regular medications, are pregnant, or are travelling with young children or seniors.
• Pack a list of medications, allergies, and medical conditions, plus prescriptions, basic over‑the‑counter medicines, and a small first‑aid kit.

✅ Vaccines & Prevention
• Make sure your routine vaccines and seasonal flu shot are up to date.
• Ask your clinician if you need any travel‑specific vaccines.
• Keep hands clean by washing often and carrying alcohol‑based sanitizer, especially in busy airports and stations.

✅ Smart Habits in Transit
• Drink water regularly to stay hydrated.
• Limit excess caffeine and alcohol, which can worsen dehydration and jet lag.
• Stretch or walk during long flights or drives to support circulation and reduce stiffness.

✅ Food, Water & Rest
• Choose well‑cooked, hot foods and safe drinking water when travelling abroad.
• Try to maintain regular sleep and take short breaks during busy travel days to support your immune system.

✅ When to Seek Care
• Get medical attention if you experience high fever, chest pain, severe shortness of breath, persistent vomiting or diarrhea, or worsening symptoms of an existing condition.
• If you feel unwell after returning home, reach out to Scarborough Village Medical Center for follow‑up care.

Stay safe, stay healthy, and enjoy your holiday travels!

👶🩺 When to Call Your Doctor for Your Child 💙

Flu season and winter bugs can be tough on little ones. Here are important times to reach out to your doctor:

• 🌡️ Fever lasting 72 hours or longer
• 🌡️ Fever that went away (without medication) but returned after a day or more
• 😣 Unusual irritability or fussiness that doesn’t improve after treating fever
• 👂 Earache lasting more than 48 hours
• 🥤 Not eating or drinking — liquids are most important, and fewer wet diapers may signal dehydration
• 💚 Special needs that make caring for your child more difficult

Your child’s health and comfort matter most. If you notice these signs, don’t wait — call your doctor or visit our Walk‑In Clinic for timely care.
