It is important that medical professionals read and understand the Medical Council Act. Medicine is a noble profession that is guided by ethics. These help to ensure patient safety.

IV drips are not just for hospitals. In certain cases, administering fluids at home under medical supervision can help prevent complications and support faster recovery.

Here are key situations where an IV drip may be necessary:

1️. Persistent Vomiting or Diarrhoea
Losing too much fluid and unable to keep anything down? IV fluids help restore hydration and prevent serious electrolyte imbalance.

2️. High Fever with Weakness
When your body is burning energy and fluids rapidly, IV support can help you stabilise faster.

3️. Not Eating or Drinking Enough
Illness, fatigue, or nausea can reduce your intake — IV fluids support recovery when the body isn’t getting what it needs.

4️. Dengue or Viral Infections
Infections like dengue can lead to dehydration and low blood pressure — timely IV therapy at home can make a difference.

5️. Post-Illness Recovery
If you’re feeling extremely tired or run-down after an illness, a drip can support your recovery process.

A sore throat (avoir mal à la gorge) can be uncomfortable. Here are some home remedies that can bring real relief:

1️. Warm Salt Water Gargle – Reduces swelling and helps clear bacteria

2️. Honey in Warm Water or Tea – Natural soother and anti-inflammatory

3️. Steam Inhalation – Moisturises the throat and loosens mucus. You can also place an air humidifier (diffuseur électrique) in your room. Add a few drops of eucalyptus essential oil to the air humidifier.

4️. Stay Hydrated – Water, herbal teas, warm soups — all help heal

5️. Rest Your Voice – Silence is healing when your throat is inflamed

👉 If your sore throat lasts more than 3 days, gets worse, or is accompanied by high fever or swollen glands — it’s best to consult a doctor.

"Les infections peuvent avoir des consequences graves sur les personnes vulnérables telles que les personnes âgées, les enfants, les personnes immunodéprimées et celles souffrant de comorbidités.

La transmission se fait en chaîne.

Si vous brisez la chaîne de transmission, vous pouvez empêcher une personne vulnérable d’être infectée."
