From addressing mental health to combating hunger, these inspiring stories highlight the power of community connection and the difference we can make together.

In a heartwarming display of community support, local Beautycounter independent consultants collaborated with the community to donate all-natural body products to the Oncology and Infusion Therapy Center at Monadnock Community Hospital. They donated nearly 80 handmade bags, each valued at $40, containing nourishing lip gloss, body butters, soothing teas, and personalized notes of encouragement. These donations aim to provide comfort and relief to cancer patients undergoing treatment. Financial contributions from the community, along with independent Beautycounter consultants Denise Chatel, Ellen Smith, and Ruth Clark, made these donations possible.

Influenza, commonly known as the flu, is a contagious respiratory illness that can cause mild to severe illness in children. Prompt treatment and proper care are essential to ensure a swift recovery and prevent complications.

Symptoms of Influenza

  • Fever or feeling feverish/chills
  • Cough
  • Sore throat
  • Runny or stuffy nose
  • Muscle or body aches
  • Headaches
  • Fatigue
  • Vomiting and diarrhea (more common in children than adults)

Causes of Influenza

  • Viral Infection: Influenza is caused by influenza viruses, which spread through droplets when an infected person coughs, sneezes, or talks.
  • Close Contact: The virus can also spread by touching surfaces contaminated with the virus and then touching the face.
  • Seasonal Outbreaks: Influenza is more common during the fall and winter months.

Treatment Options

Effective management of influenza involves supportive care and, in some cases, antiviral medications.
  • Rest and Hydration: Ensure your child gets plenty of rest and drinks fluids to stay hydrated.
  • Antiviral Medications: In some cases, doctors may prescribe antiviral medications like oseltamivir (Tamiflu) to reduce the severity and duration of symptoms.
  • Fever Management: Use acetaminophen or ibuprofen to reduce fever and relieve aches and pains. Avoid giving aspirin to children.
  • Comfort Measures: Keep your child comfortable with a cool-mist humidifier and saline nasal spray to relieve nasal congestion.

Preventing Influenza

Prevention is the best defense against influenza. Follow these tips to protect your child from the flu:
  • Annual Flu Vaccine: Ensure your child receives the annual flu vaccine. It is the most effective way to prevent influenza.
  • Good Hygiene Practices: Teach your child to wash their hands frequently with soap and water and avoid touching their face.
  • Avoid Close Contact: Keep your child away from individuals who are sick and avoid large crowds during flu season.
  • Clean and Disinfect: Regularly clean and disinfect commonly touched surfaces at home, such as doorknobs, light switches, and toys.

When to Seek Medical Attention

  • Difficulty breathing or shortness of breath
  • Chest pain or severe abdominal pain
  • Persistent vomiting or inability to keep fluids down
  • Symptoms that improve but then return with fever and worse cough
  • Worsening of chronic medical conditions
