Has your child ever got something stuck up their nose? I am sure we all know the phase of kids sticking strange things in their noses.

One it is stuck it can be scary for you and the child, especially if it does not come straight out.

This is when the ‘Mother’s Kiss’ or ‘Parent’s Kiss’ comes in.
1. places mouth over the child’s open mouth, forming a firm seal as if performing mouth-to-mouth resuscitation
2. cover the unaffected nostril with a finger
3. blows until they feel resistance caused by the closure
4. gives a sharp exhalation to deliver a short puff of air into the child’s mouth which passes through and should pop the item out

If necessary, the procedure can be repeated a number of times.

As we change seasons (and sometimes experience more than one season a day haha) it is important to look at the signs that your asthma (relievers or preventers) may need a review!!!

Good asthma management is more than reaching for your puffer – it starts with prevention.

Is it time for you to reach out to your GP to review your current Asthma plan?

Lest we forget.

If you suspect a stroke or notice any of these symptoms it is VITAL that you call 000 for an Ambulance. 📱📞

This allows them to try and capture the window (where possible) and to treat and minimise the damage and possible residual symptoms. ⏱️

Don't delay, call 000 ‼️‼️

Would you be able to recognise the signs of a stroke?

Learn the F.A.S.T. signs of stroke this National Stroke Week and ask these questions if you think someone may be having a stroke:

😕 FACE - has the mouth drooped on one side?
💪 ARMS - can they lift both arms?
🗨️ Speech - is it slurred? Is there difficulty understanding or responding?
⌛ Time - is critical, call triple zero (000) straight away if you think you or someone else may be having a stroke.
