Going on Vacation? Get Your Health Check Now

What are your plans for this summer? Going on vacation? If so, you should consider coming to Medinet Family Care Clinic in southwest Houston. Summer vacation should be spent sightseeing, laughing, and having a great and relaxed time with family or friends. At our health clinic, we are here to make sure it all goes that way.

There are various reasons why you should come to our health clinic before going on vacation. If you are going to certains areas of the country or the world, then our clinic can help keep you from getting sick or worse on vacation:

OUT OF THE COUNTRY: There are countless countries in the world that have diseases not prevalent in the US. Getting the proper innoculations is imperative to keep you from getting sick or worse. Malaria, yellow fever, and other diseases are prevalent in various underdeveloped countries. Let our medical staff know which country you’ll be visiting and we’ll make sure you receive the shots to protect against specific diseases.
THE HIGH SEAS: Going on a cruise or a fishing trip? Then you should be prepared for motion sickness. This impacts a lot of people, especially for those who have never been on the high seas before. The rocking of the waves may prove too much for some people and can completely ruin their vacation. Motion sickness can lead to dizziness, headaches, and nausea. Being prescribed the right medicine can ensure you enjoy your vacation without staying in bed with a cold towel on your face the whole time.
ON THE MOUNTAIN: Planning to do some hiking in the mountains? The air can get pretty thin and overexertion can lead to migraine headaches. We recommend getting acclimated to the height first. We also suggest being prepared with the right medicine in case of a migraine or other high-altitude related sickness.
