Arizona’s dry climate may seem like a safe haven for those plagued by seasonal allergies and sinus problems. However, this is only a myth. The desert wind pollinates just as well as bees, blasting allergens through the air and infecting many Arizonans with a form of sinusitis colloquially known as “Arizona Nose.” Luckily, FastMed has the Do’s and Don’ts on dealing with this nasty infection’s repertoire of symptoms.
Nasal Congestion/Post-nasal drip
Do: Go to FastMed Urgent Care and get the care you need.
Don’t: Pick your nose in public. This doesn’t apply if you’re alone in the car or a kid. Do it while no one else is watching or it’s still acceptable.
Cough
Do: Stay hydrated, suck on lozenges and visit FastMed to get the care you need.
Don’t: Interview Christina Aguilera. And if you do, heaven forbid that you cough while she’s talking.
Sore Throat
Do: Gargle saltwater. It may not taste spectacular, but your throat will thank you. For sever sore throat, visit FastMed.
Don’t: Decide to become an auctioneer. Save your mid-life crisis career switch for another field less likely to damage your throat.
Headache
Do: Sleep. This will help with fatigue, too. Drink plenty of fluids. Avoid loud noises ansd stressful environments.
Don’t: Bang your head on your desk. Arizona Nose can be frustrating, but this will just make matters worse.
Bad Breath
Do: Brush your teeth. Eat a mint. Avoid the garlic and onion platter.
Don’t: Go on a date, unless it’s with an Ogre. You know what they say about first impressions…
