  3. Investigation launched after respiratory infections at Neath primary school

    Several children attending Blaenhonddan Primary School have fallen ill with symptoms consistent with acute respiratory infections, prompting a coordinated response from Public Health Wales, Swansea Bay University Health Board, and Neath Port Talbot Council.

    In a statement, Public Health Wales confirmed it is working closely with the school and local partners to manage the situation and reduce the risk of further spread.

    “Public Health Wales is supporting the school and partners to reduce the spread of illness and to provide public health advice to parents and staff,” the agency said.

    Parents and guardians are being urged to monitor children for symptoms including coughing, sore throat, fever, or difficulty breathing.

    James Adamson, Consultant in Health Protection at Public Health Wales, said:

    “We are aware of several cases of acute respiratory infections linked to the school and are working closely with Swansea Bay University Health Board, Neath Port Talbot Council and the school to manage the situation.”

    He added that the flu season is now underway in Wales, and respiratory infections are common among children at this time of year.

    “The number of absences from this school reflects the background levels of respiratory infection across Wales,” Mr Adamson said. “Having the flu vaccination every year remains the best way for people to protect themselves and their children.”

    The school remains open, with additional hygiene measures and public health guidance in place.

    Swansea Bay News will continue to follow the story and provide updates as more information becomes available.

    One woman's viral #fever question sparked a very real debate. Is 98.6 outdated? buff.ly/4kku3je

    Under the weather

    'The past couple of days, I’ve been feeling a bit under the weather. Last evening, that changed from “a bit” to “a lot.”'

  7. I made an appointment this morning and went in to Urgent Care. The cough had progressed from bad to worse.

    I was diagnosed with a lower respiratory infection. It was probably triggered by allergies (hay fever). I have an inhaler in case I start having issues with wheezing. The doctor did hear a wheeze, but only during a coughing episode. I also have a Z-Pak and a round of prednisone. I’m to continue the use of Flonase and Robitussin as needed. I will start Claritin tomorrow for the allergies. I should probably have started that a couple of weeks ago, if I’m honest with myself.

    To be blunt, I haven’t been sleeping well since this cough started. I’m exhausted, and have drifted off back to sleep at least three times today. I’m hopeful that the medicines will begin to improve my condition in the next few days.

    I was talked into going in this morning as my housemates were concerned since it was clearly getting worse, not better. I had been very careful to isolate and mask, just in case this was something communicable. It’s strange, and wonderful, to be living with people who actually care after all I’ve been through in the last decade or so.

    The journey continues.

  8. When I catch a cold, I will most likely also end up with a raging, painful sinus infection that only a 10-day course of antibiotics will kick. Even then, I might relapse & end up sick for a total of 6 weeks.

    It's a BUMMER.

    #DeviatedSeptum doesn't help.

    So I'm always curious about preventatives, hence my question about #ProvidoneIodine #NasalSpray.

    Anybody know anything about povidone iodine nasal spray as a treatment for #ChronicSinustitis?
    Asking for a me. 😁

    My chronic sinusitis mainly manifests as constant slight congestion & post-nasal drip. 9 times out of 10 when I catch a cold, the increased fluid build-up makes me susceptible to a bacterial infection....
