There have been more than 200 cases reported so far this year. Mumps causes swelling of the salivary glands on one or both sides of the face, cheeks or jaw. People have been hospitalised with swollen testicles and ovaries, which in rare cases can cause infertility.

Mumps is preventable by two doses of the measles-mumps-rubella (MMR) vaccination. In NZ this is normally given at 15 months and 4 years of age. Other countries give it at different ages, and some countries do not include mumps in their routine vaccines.

If you're not sure whether you or your children are up-to-date with vaccinations, including having protection against mumps, call your medical practice. They will be able to assist you or book you in for a free vaccination.

Treat fungal nail infections in three easy sessions
Earlier this year we had a patient who, in her words, had “tried everything” to clear up her long standing fungal nail infection. It was causing her considerable grief in that she was too embarrassed about the way her toes looked to wear open toed shoes and was well and truly over having to keep them covered with nail polish. At her first treatment she was nervous even though we had assured her that it would not hurt.
After the treatment she was all smiles saying “it didn’t hurt at all”
She went on to complete the recommended series of three treatments and is now happily watching her nails grow out clear which, at around 1mm a month, is slower than watching paint dry, but much more satisfying.
Are you another one of those who has tried everything or have been just ignoring it hoping it will go away by itself (it won’t)? Whichever category you fit into, if you want to deal to the unsightly affliction give us a call so you too can get started watching your nails grow.
Verrucas - like fungal nails infections, we can treat verrucas without pain, pills or side effects. The number of treatments depends on how deep and how tough they are, usually about four treatments are required. Visit our web site for more information or call to make an appointment.
Pick up the phone now and call John on (09) 4755 273 or visit www.lasernailclinic.co.nz....
The Laser Nail Clinic is at suite 18, North Shore Medical Centre, 326 Sunset Road, Windsor Park.

If you have problems with services or products, you may be protected by the CGA. You should expect services to be carried out with appropriate competency and skills, and completed to a reasonable standard.

For example, Jan had two painters provide quotes for some painting and wallpaper work. She chose her painter and the work was completed. Two weeks later she noticed bumps and lumps in the wallpaper, that she hadn’t noticed at the time the bill was paid.

With a faulty product, you can return it and ask for a repair, replacement or refund. But that’s not so easy with a service! But Jan’s story ended well, the painter came back and rectified the problem at no cost to Jan.
