📚✏️ Kids are settling back in at school and routines are getting easier. Unfortunately, germs are making their classroom debut, too!

From shared tablets to lunch tables, school surfaces are a near perfect way for illness to spread 🦠 And as we all know, one sick student can turn an entire classroom into a sniffling, sneezing symphony faster than you can say, "hand sanitizer!"

But don't worry - you've got this, parents! 💪 Simple daily habits like proper handwashing (sing "Happy Birthday" twice!), keeping those little hands away from faces and packing some trusty hand sanitizer can be total game-changers for your family's health this school year.

🌟 Ready to turn your kids into germ-dodging superstars? Here at SouthStar Urgent Care Corporate Offices we've got all the tips you need! 👇 Check out our complete back-to-school health guide:

“Nothing but amazing experiences with this clinic. The staff is friendly, professional, and genuinely caring. From the moment you walk in, you’re greeted with warmth and treated with respect. Appointments run on time, everything is clean and well-organized. My kids (6&5) ask can we go to this clinic whenever they’re sick & that speaks volumes, ‘cause kids generally do not like going to the doctor.” — Ruston, LA

🏖️⚽ Summer fun shouldn't come with unexpected trips to urgent care! But accidents can happen anywhere, from the backyard to the beach.

🚨 Wherever you go this summer, don't ignore these issues:

· Deep cuts or persistent bleeding.
· Painful sprains or potential fractures.
· Burns from grills or fireworks.
· Ear pain after recent water sports.
· Fevers above 102°F.
· Signs of heat exhaustion.

⏰ Quick tip: pain and/or swelling that doesn't go away, severe bug bite reactions or persistent vomiting lasting 24+ hours all need professional attention quickly.

Why waste precious summer days feeling miserable? SouthStar Urgent Care offers walk-in care and evening hours to get you back to making memories fast!
