MIAMI -- It seems like whenever there’s a party, someone goes home sick.
Dr. Ladan Pourmasiha, a family medicine physician for Baptist Health, regularly sees patients coming in with coughs, runny noses and sore throats after large gatherings. She’s the medical director for Baptist Health South Florida’s Urgent Care Centers in Broward County.
Pourmasiha said she saw an increase of people sick with COVID and the flu after Thanksgiving. She expects more will trickle in to the doctor’s office with colds after Christmas, too.
