👂🦠🤧 Ear Infections After a Cold? Here’s Why It Happens…

It’s very common for ear infections to develop after a viral illness like a cold 🤒, flu 🤧, or RSV 🦠. When your child has congestion, the Eustachian tubes (tiny tubes that drain fluid from the middle ear) can become swollen and blocked. That trapped fluid 🫧 creates the perfect environment for bacteria to grow — leading to an ear infection 😣👂🔥.

👶🧒 Who is more susceptible?
• Infants and toddlers 👶 (shorter, more horizontal ear tubes)
• Kids in daycare or school 🎒🏫
• Children with frequent colds 🤧 or allergies 🌼
• Exposure to secondhand smoke 🚭
• Bottle-fed babies drinking while lying flat 🍼

👀⚠️ Signs to watch for:
• Ear pain or tugging at the ear 👂
• Fever 🌡️
• Fussiness or irritability 😩
• Trouble sleeping 😴
• Decreased appetite 🍽️
• Ear drainage 🫗
• Trouble hearing or saying “what?” more than usual 🙉

The good news? 🙌 Most ear infections are very treatable. Some need antibiotics 💊, while others can be safely monitored depending on age and severity.

If your child is getting over a viral illness and suddenly seems uncomfortable, we’re here to help 🏥💙 Walk in anytime — no appointment needed ⏰✨

😢

We are heartbroken to share that Huntsville Police Sergeant Jason Holman has passed away.

Sgt. Holman’s career was defined by service, sacrifice and a commitment to others. He was a leader who believed in developing people - through training, shared knowledge and empowering those around him to grow both professionally and personally.

Sgt. Holman served his country in the United States Army's 101 Airborne Division, deploying to Iraq, and continued a life of public service in law enforcement with the Chattanooga Police Department and in protective assignments for U.S. Ambassadors overseas.

He brought that wealth of experience to HPD, quickly becoming an asset to both the department and the community - always encouraging and uplifting those around him.

We respectfully ask the community to keep Sgt. Holman’s family, friends and colleagues in your thoughts and prayers during this difficult time.

🧴Hair Loss? Dry, Itchy Scalp? It Might Be More Than Just Dandruff.

Flakes on your shirt? Itch that won’t quit? You’re not alone — and we can help.

At ApproXie Urgent Care, we treat a wide range of scalp conditions that can be safely and effectively managed with ketoconazole shampoo, including:

✅ Seborrheic Dermatitis
The #1 cause of dry, flaky scalp. We target the root problem — yeast overgrowth and inflammation — so your scalp can finally heal.

✅ Dandruff (Pityriasis Capitis)
The mild form of seborrheic dermatitis — yes, dandruff is a real condition, and we have real solutions. OTC or prescription strength available.

✅ Tinea Capitis (Scalp Ringworm)
Often seen in children — a fungal scalp infection that needs oral antifungals, but ketoconazole shampoo helps stop the spread.

✅ Pityrosporum Folliculitis
Looks like acne on the scalp or back? It might actually be yeast-driven folliculitis. Ketoconazole shampoo works as both scalp and body treatment.

ApproXie Urgent Care can help you figure out what’s really causing your scalp symptoms — and get you fast relief.
