There is a respiratory infection going around Richland Springs. It makes people sneeze, and have a runny nose, headaches, and a bad cough. It causes you to be congested and just plain uncomfortable. If any of these symptoms become evident in any member of your family, be sure to consult a doctor before the infection worsens. If prescribed antibiotics, be sure to complete the entire round of medicine. Do not stop taking the pills just because you feel better. The infection could come back if the antibiotics are not finished. Be careful to wash your hands regularly and use disinfectant sprays in your home. Stay well.
