A message from St John Ambulance

Chickenpox is going around again! Please remember NOT to give your children nurofen/ibuprofen if you think your child has it.
This type of medicine is an anti-inflammatory. It reacts with the chickenpox making them go deeper into the skin tissue, potentially causing a more severe secondary infection.
Better options:
👶Paracetamol for fever
👶Calamine Lotion for the itch
👶Keep your child hydrated
Always seek medical advice.

It’s not something people would immediately think of but with the unusually hot weather lately, it’s worth sharing. 2 years ago this baby suffered 2nd degree burns over 30% of his body from being accidentally sprayed with a garden hose and firefighters have issued a fresh warning recently.

Hoping to prevent this type of accident from happening again, the fire department warned: “A garden hose exposed to direct sunlight during summer can heat the water inside the hose (not flowing) to 130-140 degrees Fahrenheit which can cause burns especially to children & animals.
Let the water flow a few minutes to cool before spraying on people or animals"

| Parents urged to be watchful for norovirus symptoms ahead of schools and nurseries re-opening, as cases of the illness increase in Wales.

Norovirus is a common stomach bug that usually clears up after a couple of days.

⚠️ If you have symptoms of norovirus, stay home for 48 hours after they clear. This will help prevent others from catching the virus.

2 doses of the MMR (Measles, Mumps and Rubella) vaccine are needed for 95% protection against Measles. If you are unsure of your child’s vaccination status you can check via the following avenues:
• Immunisation details are available in your child’s Red Book
• Call 01874 442 510 (Mon-Fri 11am-4pm)
