With the arrival of cold cases of influenza viral episodes processes and increase both children and adults. Policlinico San Carlos recommends special attention to people who have a history of respiratory pathologies, as well as diabetic and pregnant people.
Advise that these patients come to the emergency immediately, if they see past 48 hours after taking paracetamol, fever continues and note increased secretions.
Children are also more vulnerable to cold, so if the fever persists for more than two days, parents should take their children to the emergency room. And above all, from the Polyclinic they emphasize that "gastroenteritis is also a reason to request urgent assistance."
At Policlínico San Carlos they have a mean waiting time in the emergency room of 16 minutes. And to prevent long waits, at Policlínico San Carlos, users have a service to know in advance the real time they will have to wait, sending an SMS with the word "URGENCIASSC" to 215757.
Another measure taken to prevent these diseases arriving with cold, is vaccination. Polyclinic San Carlos remember that we are already engaged in the vaccination campaign. And that vaccines are particularly suitable for pregnant women, people over 65 years, patients with cardiorespiratory history, and so the staff working in the health field.
Policlinico San Carlos wants to also inform users that the outpatient clinic Javea Rehabilitation is already available for Sanitas policyholders.
