Cold and Flu Season and the Eyes | Influenza Vaccination Week

12/1/2021

12 Comments

 
Picture
The winter may mean enjoying snowing days, winter sports, and warming up by the fire, but unfortunately, winter can also mean the start of the cold and flu season.

When you think of cold and flu symptoms, running nose, fever, and aches and pains may come to mind. While cold symptoms typically involve the upper airway, your eyes may also be affected. 
​
December 5th through the 11th is Influenza Vaccination Week. Keep reading below to learn more on how vaccination and other steps can help decrease your risk of getting the flu and possible eye problems associated with it. 

Can colds and the flu affect the eyes?

There are a few different ways that cold and flu season can impact the eyes, such as the following:
​
Conjunctivitis: Conjunctivitis is linked to viral infections, such as colds and the flu. Conjunctivitis involves inflammation of the white part of the eye. Although the condition is not usually serious, it can cause discomfort and is often contagious. Symptoms of conjunctivitis include redness, irritation, and a gritty feeling in the eye.

Eye discomfort: Typically, eye symptoms are not your biggest problem during a cold or the flu, but eye discomfort can contribute to your misery. For example, when you are congested from a cold, it can make your eyes feel heavy and tired. Also, it may make your eyes sensitive to light. A cold also sometimes causes watery eyes.

Dry eyes: If you are taking cold medicine to ease congestion, the ingredients often dry up more than your nose. Many types of over-the-counter decongestants contain antihistamines, which can lead to dry eyes.

Rare complications: Occasionally, rare complications from the flu can develop that may lead to serious eye problems. For instance, acute necrotizing encephalopathy (i.e., brain damage) is an uncommon complication after an acute viral infection, such as the flu.

Sepsis is another possible complication of the flu. Sepsis can occur when the body has an extreme response to an infection. Sepsis may lead to organ damage and become life-threatening. In some instances, it can also lead to vision problems.
​  

Ways to stay well this cold and flu season 

According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, in the United States, on average, about 8% of the population gets the flu each year. For some people, the flu can be deadly. Regardless of your risk for severe illness, it is best to take steps to avoid getting sick. Below are several tips to stay well this cold and flu season. 

Wash your hands often: You have probably heard it a million times; wash your hands often. Washing your hands frequently is one of the best ways to decrease your risk of getting a cold or the flu.  

Consider a flu vaccine: Although there is not a cold vaccine, there is a vaccine for the flu. Talk to your doctor about getting an annual flu vaccine to determine if it is right for you. 

Stay away from people that are sick: If possible, limit contact with people that have a cold, flu, or other respiratory viruses. It may not always be possible to avoid people that are sick, so, if you can’t, try to maintain your distance and limit the amount of time you are near someone. 

Eat well, exercise, and get enough sleep: Remember the basics such as eating a well-balanced diet, getting enough sleep, and regular exercise to keep your immune system as strong as possible.

Consider a mask: Many of us have gotten used to wearing a mask to reduce the risk of getting and spreading COVID-19. A mask may also help reduce the spread of droplets that spread colds and the flu. If you are at high risk of serious illness or will be in close with a large group of people, a well-fitted mask may reduce your risk of getting sick. 

We hope you stay well this cold and flu season. If you would like to ask whether an appointment with one of our eye doctors would be appropriate at this time, call our office at 508-746-8600.

Now You Can Stop Your Break Up, Divorce or Lovers Rejection…Even If Your Situation Seems Hopeless!
I contacted a real spell caster that helped me change my husband’s heart to love and want me again, and he really did and now we are very happy together. My husband left me for another woman, This was just 3 years of our marriage. The most painful thing is that I was pregnant with our second baby. I wanted him back. I did everything within my reach to bring him back but all was in vain, I wanted him back so badly because of the love I had for him, I begged him with everything, I made promises but he refused. I explained my problem to my friend and she suggested that I should rather contact a spell caster that could help me cast a spell to bring him back , I had no choice than to try it. I messaged the spell caster called dr unity, and he assured me there was no problem and that everything will be okay before 11 hours. He cast the spell and surprisingly 11 hours later my husband called me. I was so surprised, I answered the call and all he said was that he was so sorry for everything that had happened He wanted me to return to him. He also said he loved me so much. I was so happy and went to him that was how we started living together happily again.thanks to dr unity . if you are here and your Lover is turning you down, or your husband moved to another woman, do not cry anymore, contact Dr.Unity for help now..

I WAS CURED OF HERPES SIMPLEX VIRUS BY DR WATER, THE GREAT HERBALIST. 🌿☘️🌿☘️🌿☘️
i am so happy to share this testimony with the world because generally there are so many doubts about the cure of HERPES simplex virus. This is real take it serious, my name is HENRIETTE AMUNAZO and i am so happy that today i can give this testimony to the world and also help people who has been condemned just as i was. Who will believe that a herb can cure HERPES completely from the body?, i never believed that this will work, i have spend a lot of money getting drugs from the hospital to supress outbreaks, it got to a time that all i was wanted was death to come because i was broke and i already have strong outbreaks from the herpes virus. One day i was going through the internet asking questions online just to know more about the latest development in the medical sector to see if there is still hope then i stumbled on a post about this great man called DR WATER through an online friend who publicly made a testimony on how she was also cured of herpes simplex virus 2 by this herbal doctor who is well known for his strong ancient herbal practice for HERPES, HIV, WARTS and CANCER cure. At first i doubted both the woman and the doctor just as so many that see’s this post would doubt because medically it has been proven impossible but later i decided to give him a try so i emailed him. I did not believe him that much, I just wanted to give him a try. He replied my mail and needed some Information about me, then I sent them to him, he prepared a herbal medicine (CURE) and sent it through Online Courier Service for delivery. He gave my details to the Courier Office. They told me that 3-5 days I will receive the package and after receiving it, i took the medicine as prescribed by him at the end of 13days that the medcine lasted, he told me to go to the hospital for a test, and i went, surprisingly after the test the doctor confirm me Herpes simplex virus free, i thought it was a joke, i went to other hospitals and was also confirmed herpes free, i will say it was like a miracle. I waited to see if i will get any outbreaks again and its been 2 months now, i have not experienced any outbreak. Thank you sir for saving my life even if you cannot see this post, i shall never stop testifying the impact you made in my life by restoring back my life when i was being stigmatized and even avoided by family and friends. I promise I will always testify of your good works. if you have herpes simplex virus, HIV patient, Diabetes, human papilloma virus or genital warts, contact him and I am sure you will get cured, contact him via:

I am Unai Martinez. Thanks to DR WATER for his good work. Finally a cure for diabetes exists. It's not a pharmaceutical drug, but a very safe all natural herbal product that restores your body's own ability to naturally control it's own blood glucose levels back to normal. I have been battling with diabetes type 2 for 12 years now, before a friend lead me to DR WATER. He said that he could cure just about any disease, but I never believed. I just decided to give it a try. I contact him that night luckily for me, he was online. He said yes he could heal me, but yet again I didn't believe, I even thought it was a scam. But I went on to give it a try. He ask some question about my health and I provided him with all he needed. And a few days later, I received a call from UPS to come collect some herbal products from DR WATER. I can't believe that after using those herbal products, I was healed and I can not stop telling people about this experience. When I went to the hospital for check up, my doctor was
surprised and he even ask for DR WATER's email DRWATERHIVCURECENTRE@GMAIL.COM, which i gave to him and have given alot of people. This indeed is a genuine solution to Diabetes that I am sharing here, not those very costly medical
treatment or a life-long use of diabetic supplements. If you need this herbal product, contact him now. He can still help you on other diseases like:
1, hepatitis
2, HIV
3, Herpes or any skin disease
4, asthma
5,HPV genital warts
6,Cancer
7,Ulcer
8, Chlamydia
9, shingles
10, Sclerosis
11, Arthritis
12, Fibroid, infertility, ovarians cysts, frequent miscarriages, premature ejaculation.

I never believed in Spells or Magic until I met this great spell caster called DR ONIHA.. The man I wanted to marry left me 3 months after our wedding ceremony and my life was upside down. He was with me for 4 years and I really love him so much. He left me for another woman for no reason. When I called him, he never picked up my calls and he didn't want to see me around him. I was helpless and didn't know what to do to get the man I love back in my life. I went online in search of help and I found the DR ONIHA website. I have to contact him. So when I told DR ONIHA what happened. He helped me to do some readings, and after the readings he made me realize that the other woman has done some spells over my boyfriend and that is the reason why he left me. He told me he will help me to cast a spell to bring him back. At first I was skeptical but I just gave it a try. In 4 days after which the spell was done by DR ONIHA, My boyfriend called me himself and came to me apologizing. I can't believe he can ever come back to me again but now I am happy he's back and we are married now and we live as a happy family. Am posting this to the forum if anyone needs the help of this great man, you can also contact him through this.

Special thanks to HACK VANISH, a professional hacker I’ve been hiring for the past 2 years because, I find him to be an outstanding hacker who has aided me in various hacking related issues, ranging from fixing my poor FICO credit score of about 437 TransUnion, 462 Equifax to 802 plus excellent score, tracking my cheating husband’s phone and currently has helped me recover my lost crypto funds from an online scam investment I recently ventured into, I must confess he is the best, quite brilliant, ever since I discovered him through a positive review I saw on Wallet Hub and reached out to him via Email: HACKVANISH @ GMAIL. COM, and Phone: +1(747) 293-8514, to which he responded in less than 10mins, I have never regretted working with him, he’s been quite helpful and highly efficient. I Would recommend his services to anyone without hesitation.
