❄️ Wellness Wednesday: Winter sickness & ear health ❄️
Cold and flu season can bring more than sniffles and sore throats — it can also lead to ear infections, pressure, and temporary hearing changes, especially in children and older adults.
A few simple wellness tips can help protect your ears this winter:
• Wash hands regularly to prevent the spread of illness
• Stay hydrated to help keep sinuses and ears clear
• Treat colds early to reduce congestion and pressure
• Don’t ignore ear pain, fullness, or sudden changes in hearing
Your ears are part of your overall health. Taking care of them during cold season helps you stay connected to the sounds and conversations that matter most.
Stay well, Oklahoma 💛
