 Flu Outbreak Information

News From Houlton Regional Hospital

At this time we are seeing H1N1 circulating in our local area.

Houlton Regional Hospital has lifted the temporary visitation restrictions, and once again welcomes all visitors, including those under 18.

If you are currently sick and do not have underlying medical conditions you most likely should be able to stay home and treat your flu symptoms.  Acetaminophen such as Tylenol and Ibuprofen such as Advil can be used to treat fever and body aches.  You should stay home for at least 24 hours after your fever is gone with out having to take medicine.  Get plenty of rest and stay hydrated by drinking water, broth, and sports drinks (use electrolyte beverages for infants).  Cover your coughs and sneezes and clean your hands often.
