💉 Getting your flu shot soon?
What you eat and drink before and after can actually make a difference in how your body responds and how you feel!

✅ Before your flu shot:
• Stay hydrated — drink plenty of water.
• Eat a light, balanced meal with protein and complex carbs (like yogurt with fruit or eggs and toast).
• Avoid coming on an empty stomach — it can make you feel lightheaded.

✅ After your flu shot:
• Keep drinking fluids like water, coconut water, or herbal tea.
• Eat foods rich in vitamins C & E, lean protein, and antioxidants to support your immune system (think salmon, spinach, citrus, or nuts).
• Light movement can help with mild soreness at the injection site.

🩺 Taking care of your body before and after vaccination helps your immune system do its job effectively!

🩺 Back pain slowing you down?
It’s one of the most common reasons people visit urgent care — but not all back pain is the same! 💢

👉 Muscle strain often causes soreness that improves with rest, stretching, or over-the-counter medication.
⚠️ More serious pain may come with numbness, tingling, weakness, or pain that radiates down your legs — which could signal a pinched nerve, herniated disc, or another underlying issue.

Don’t ignore your symptoms — our EMDS Urgent Care team can help identify the cause and get you back on your feet fast!

🚑 Cuts, Scrapes, or Burns? Know When to See a Doctor! 🩹🔥

Minor cuts, scrapes, and burns can often be treated at home — but if the wound is deep, won’t stop bleeding, shows signs of infection (redness, swelling, pus), or if a burn covers a large area or looks severe, it’s time to see a healthcare provider. Don’t wait — prompt care can prevent complications and speed healing!
