On Monday, February 2, our recently renovated addition to our office was completely flooded due to a building-wide sewage backup. We were blessed with a rapid response from the Sight & Sound team, Graybill Plumbing and RestorePlus to try to minimize damage.

However, we learned today that remediation and repair will likely take two months. During that time we will be without 30% of our patient rooms. We will be creative to minimize disruptions to patient care and ask for your patience. Thank you.

Consider Azelastine nasal spray for prevention and treatment.

This just one study, but when I weigh the risk vs benefit of using azelastine to prevent catching a cold, the flu, or COVID, it's worth it for me!

More studies are needed to confirm these results, but we are seeing A LOT of coughs, colds, flu and COVID.

"The spray also appeared to help against other respiratory viruses. Rhinovirus, which often causes colds, was the most common non-COVID infection detected. Only 1.8% of azelastine users tested positive for rhinovirus compared to 6.3% of placebo users, translating to about a 71% lower risk of infection. Overall, 8.4% of azelastine users had at least one laboratory-confirmed respiratory infection during the study, compared to 18.8% of placebo users."

Azelastine is available over the counter. We also stock it for $6.59 a bottle (60 sprays).
