flu

If you've been feeling bad lately, you're not alone, and there could be a few reasons why that is.

Since the pandemic, I swear my cold symptoms are different. There is some early scientific research that might back it up.

The Superior School District sent an e-mail to parents on Tuesday afternoon warning them about an increase in flu cases in the school district.

If you've got a family (especially with kids), this is really important in stopping the spread of germs and viruses.

Everyone is writing that they have the gunk and how it is putting a stop to their day or to their week or for some their month. What can you do?

I thought we were spared from the 2018 influenza season in our house. Spring is here and I was optimistic that we made it. Then it hit, and it hit hard.

I see on facebook and other social media, everyone is sick. Some of my friends have had to stay home with their sick child. I read more and more that people are getting sick and there are easy ways to avoid being the next bed ridden person.

Two weeks ago our 8 year old came home from school looking a little pale and saying he had a stomach ache.  That's when it all began.

I'm sure you can come up with lots of things to add to my list. Or maybe crazy things your mom told you to be careful of that were myths, like waiting 30 minutes after you eat to go swimming.

Lucky me, I've got my second cold in the last month.  What usually gets me through the day is Advil Cold & Sinus.  It really works great!  But, I learned a lesson last night.  Don't take it before bed!

It's that time of the year again and while many people are scoffing at a flu shot because last year's shot had low effectiveness, why take the chance?

The country has been hit hard by the Flu virus this year, and that includes the Northland.  Social media sites like Facebook is full of people complaining of the illness.   It also appears that it will continue to worsen, and the CDC said it could peak this month.
