Whether you’ve overdone it on a family bike ride, playing with the kids in the swimming pool or while working in the garden, a sore back can put a real cramp in your summer plans.

Luckily, the kinks can usually be worked out in a few simple steps. Here’s how to take care of a sore back:
• Step 1: Ice it for the first 48 hours, five to 10 minutes at a time
• Step 2: After two days, use hot showers and heating pads to soothe the area
• Step 3: Get lots of rest for several days

A red, itchy, sore ear could signal a common complaint during the summer months: swimmer’s ear.

Swimmer’s ear is an infection in the tube that runs from your eardrum to the outer part of your ear. It’s often brought on by water that remains in your ear, creating a moist environment where bacteria can grow.

This infection can usually be treated with prescription ear drops. Ask our Medication Expert for recommendation.

Cases of strep throat have peaked in recent months. Strep throat is caused by a bacteria and is treatable, but can be serious for young children, older adults and people who have a weak immune system.

• Fever
• Painful swallowing
• Tiny red spots on back of the throat or roof of your mouth

Our pharmacist can advise on whether you should have a strep test to confirm. If you do have strep throat, you’ll need an antibiotic treatment.

Summer vacation is calling! But if you’re headed on a far-flung holiday, you should make sure you’re up to date on your travel vaccines.

If you’ve spotted white or yellow patches on your baby’s tongue or on the inside of your child’s cheeks, they may have a fungal infection called thrush. Thrush is most common in young kids, but can affect adults, too. (In adults, symptoms can also include a cottony feeling in your mouth and loss of taste.)

Here are three things you can do to help prevent thrush:

1- Practice good oral hygiene by brushing your teeth twice a day and flossing at least once a day. If your baby uses a bottle or a pacifier, thoroughly clean them in hot water or the dishwasher after each use.

2- See your dentist regularly. This is especially important if you have certain health issues, like diabetes.

3- Limit the amount of sugar and yeast-containing foods you eat.

Lyme disease can be serious. The best way to prevent it is to not get bitten by a blacklegged tick.

When heading outdoors, help avoid a bite by:
• Tucking your pants into your socks
• Wearing closed-toed shoes
• Opting for light-coloured clothing
• Doing a full-body check on yourself, your kids, and pets when you head indoors

Stop by the pharmacy for advice on how to correctly remove a tick in case someone in your household gets bitten.
