Take the pain out of pain reliever dosing.

Be confident that you are treating your child’s pain or fever with the correct dose of medication. We can guide you here on how much acetaminophen (Tylenol) or ibuprofen (Motrin/Advil) to give, based on your child’s weight. (Benadryl too!)

Do you have a pool or live near water?

Here are some things you need to know to keep your toddler safe around water:
- Never leave them unattended around water (including the bathtub).
- Use approved life jackets when in a body of water, not just a floatie.
- Teach water safety and enroll in swimming lessons as early as possible.

The U.S. Coast Guard provides guidelines and lists life jackets that are approved for use. Check their site for the latest information on safety standards.

Nasal congestion is an annoying symptom that can affect all ages!

Newborns are commonly congested due to their tiny nasal passages. To help your baby you can administer saline nasal drops or spray.

Older children often suffer from nasal congestion due to colds or allergies. For nasal congestion that is secondary to a cold, you can give your child saline nasal spray and suction or have them blow their nose if mucus is present. A warm steamy shower before bed, and a cool mist humidifier in their bedroom can ensure they get a peaceful night’s sleep.

If nasal congestion is caused by allergies, it is best to consult with your child’s provider to ensure the correct medication is being used. Medications such as nasal steroids or antihistamine can help.

Are these remedies not helping your child’s nasal congestion? Call our office today to schedule an appointment.

Am I overfeeding my newborn?

Newborns love to eat and often overfeed if not given a limit. Signs of overfeeding include an increased spitting up and/or rapid weight gain.

In the first few weeks of life, a newborn will typically need 2-2.5 ounces per feed or to breastfeed 20-30 minutes. All newborns should be taken to their scheduled appointments with their provider so their weight can be assessed.

Newborns should be seen within 24-48 hours of being discharged from the hospital and then typically again around 10-14 days of age unless your provider recommends differently.

If you are concerned your newborn is eating too much or not enough, call our office today to schedule a weight check.

Got red eyes?

Pink eye (conjunctivitis) is a common presenting symptom here at Arbor Pediatrics, but not all pink eye cases are contagious.

Bacterial - very red eyes with thick, mucus discharge. Contagious and require antibiotic drops.

Viral - pink to mild red eyes with minimal discharge. Often crusty lashes in the mornings or after a nap. Think of this one as a cold in the eyes. It typically accompanies an upper respiratory cold. No drops are needed. It’s the most common type of pink eye.

Allergic - Itchy, watery, mildly pink eyes. This type is commonly seen during allergy seasons. Allergy eye drops can be used for relief.

Irritant - Pink/red eyes, but often no discharge noted. Commonly seen after a child gets soap in their eyes or after swimming in the pool (chlorine). No drops typically needed.

Unsure if your child has the contagious type of pink eye? Call our office to schedule a virtual or in office appointment to see one of our providers.

They make every attempt to get you in same day if you need it and greet you with such a smile! They make paperwork easy and the check in process happens as you walk in the door, they’ve got it handled.

“Couldn’t have asked for a better doctor.”

Dr. Asgaonkar is absolutely amazing. She is very caring, knowledgeable, and respectful. She really listens to you and happily answers any questions you may have. My husband and I are so happy we found her for our baby. Couldn’t have asked for a better doctor. Also, the office is SO CLEAN.
