Heat, dry air, and sweating can lead to:

๐ŸŒก๏ธ Dehydration โ€“ More sweating = fluid loss = dry, irritated throat
๐Ÿ’จ Dry air โ€“ Hot wind evaporates saliva fast, leaving your throat feeling like sandpaper
๐Ÿ˜ฎโ€๐Ÿ’จ Mouth breathing โ€“ Heat and allergies can lead to mouth breathing = more dryness
๐Ÿ”ฅ Acid reflux โ€“ Summer heat can worsen heartburn, irritating your throat even more

How to protect your throat in hot weather:

๐Ÿ’ง Stay Hydrated - Aim for 8+ cupsโ€”more if you're active outdoors.
๐ŸŒฌ๏ธ Use a Humidifier - A humidifier adds moisture to the air and soothes your throat.
๐Ÿšซ Avoid Irritants - Cigarette smoke, strong perfumes, and dust can make dryness worse.
๐Ÿต Soothe Your Throat - Try warm tea with honey or a saltwater gargle for quick relief.
๐Ÿ‘ƒ Breathe Through Your Nose - It filters and humidifies air.

Swimmerโ€™s ear occurs when excess moisture in the ear canal causes irritation and breakdown of the skin, allowing bacteria or fungi to enter. The external auditory canal is a warm, dark environment, ideal for microbial growth. This can lead to inflammation, pain, and infection. ๐Ÿ”ด๐Ÿ‘‚

โœ… Treatment typically involves antibiotic ear drops, which deliver a high concentration of antimicrobial agents directly to the infected tissue. If the infection is fungal, antifungal ear drops may be prescribed instead.

๐Ÿ›ก๏ธ Use earplugs when swimming and dry the outer ears thoroughly to help reduce your risk.

It's National Immunization Awareness Month ๐Ÿ’‰๐Ÿ›ก๏ธ

Vaccines are one of the most effective ways to prevent life-threatening illnesses. They work by strengthening your bodyโ€™s natural immune response to harmful viruses and bacteria, helping protect you, your family, and your community.

Whether itโ€™s routine childhood vaccines, seasonal flu shots, or immunizations for adults, staying up to date is key to long-term health.

๐Ÿ“š Learn more about vaccines and recommended schedules on the CDCโ€™s website: cdc.gov/vaccines

What Is a Deviated Septum and How Do You Know If You Have One?

A deviated septum occurs when the wall between your nasal passages is off-center, which can lead to symptoms such as:

๐Ÿ”น Difficulty breathing through one or both nostrils
๐Ÿ”น Persistent nasal congestion
๐Ÿ”น Frequent nosebleeds
๐Ÿ”น Snoring or noisy breathing during sleep
๐Ÿ”น Facial pressure or recurring sinus infections

An ENT specialist can examine your nasal passages to determine if a deviated septum is present.

In some cases, treatment may include medications to manage symptoms. When symptoms are more severe, a surgical procedure called septoplasty may be recommended to straighten the septum and improve airflow.

1๏ธโƒฃ Avoidance is key โ€” limiting exposure to allergens is the first and most effective step.
๐ŸŒฟ Pollen: Keep windows closed during high pollen seasons, use A/C with a HEPA filter, and limit outdoor time during peak hours.
๐Ÿ›๏ธ Dust mites: Wash bedding weekly in hot water and use allergen-proof covers.
๐Ÿถ Pet dander: Keep pets out of bedrooms and bathe them regularly.
๐Ÿฅœ Food allergies: Avoid known allergens and always check ingredient labels.

Taking small steps can make a big difference in how you feel. ๐Ÿ’ช
