Karen Dunderdale, chief nurse at Northern Lincolnshire and Goole NHS Hospitals Trust said: "We have created extra capacity to accommodate additional patients but we would urge everyone to please think twice before visiting A&E and ensure our staff are available for vulnerable people who are in an emergency situation.
"Most common aches, pains and winter illnesses will begin to clear up by themselves within a few days with some self-care essentials so there really is no need to call 999 or go to A&E.
