Post Oak ER

⚠️ Harris County Health Alert

West Nile symptoms can turn serious — and they don't always appear right away.

Symptoms can begin 2–14 days after an infected mosquito bite. Early signs may include fever, headache, body aches, vomiting, or rash. But confusion, weakness, stiff neck, tremors, or severe headache are more serious warning signs that need prompt evaluation.

Severe West Nile illness can affect the brain and nervous system — especially in older adults and those with underlying health conditions.
Post Oak ER is open 24/7 with board-certified ER physicians, on-site labs, and advanced imaging for emergency-level evaluation when symptoms feel serious.

Pet lovers, this reminder matters.

Even a quick errand can turn dangerous in Houston heat. Inside a parked car, temperatures can rise quickly, and pets can overheat faster than many people realize.

Post Oak ER may not treat pets, but we care about the families who love them. This summer, please plan ahead: bring pets inside, leave them safely at home, or make another safe arrangement before running errands.

If a person develops confusion, fainting, severe weakness, trouble breathing, or life-threatening symptoms after heat exposure, call 911 immediately.

Even a few minutes in a parked car can become dangerous for a child.

During Houston’s hotter months, vehicle interiors can heat up quickly, and children are at higher risk because their bodies overheat faster than adults. Never assume a quick stop is safe.

Make it a habit: Never leave children unattended in a vehicle.

Post Oak ER provides hospital-grade emergency care 24/7 for urgent heat-related symptoms.

If symptoms are severe or life-threatening, or if a child becomes confused, faint, difficult to wake, or has trouble breathing after heat exposure, call 911 immediately.

In a cardiac emergency, knowing what to do before help arrives can matter.

CPR & AED Awareness Week is a reminder to recognize the signs of cardiac arrest: sudden collapse, unresponsiveness, and abnormal or absent breathing. Call 911, begin CPR if trained, and use an AED if one is available.

Post Oak ER is open 24/7 with emergency-trained physicians and hospital-grade care when serious symptoms need prompt evaluation.
