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!)

November is National Epilepsy Awareness Month which is a time to raise understanding and support for children living with seizures.

A seizure happens when there is a sudden burst of abnormal electrical activity in the brain, which can cause changes in movement, behavior, awareness, or sensation.

If your child ever has a seizure, here are a few steps to keep them safe:
- Stay calm and gently place them on their side.
- Do not put anything in their mouth.
- Move objects away to prevent injury.
- Time the seizure. If it lasts longer than 5 minutes, call 911 immediately.

If your child has experienced a seizure or you’re concerned about unusual episodes, call our office.

Our office is here to help coordinate care for your premature baby, including referrals to early intervention, ophthalmology, and developmental specialists.

Grade schoolers are learning to recognize and manage their emotions, which can sometimes feel overwhelming. Encourage open conversations about feelings, model healthy coping strategies, and validate your child’s experiences.

Teaching problem-solving and stress management skills at this stage helps children build resilience and confidence. Encourage your child to manage stress by taking deep breaths, talking about their feelings, or using drawing or journaling to express emotions.

If your child struggles with emotional regulation or frequent mood changes, call our office. We can offer strategies, resources, and referrals if needed.

November is National Diabetes Month, and we want to show support for all the amazing kids and families managing type 1 diabetes every day. Managing diabetes can be a full-time job checking blood sugars, counting carbs, and balancing insulin, but with the right tools and support, children with diabetes can live healthy, active lives.

Here are a few trusted resources for families:

1) Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation (JDRF): www.jdrf.org – advocacy, support, and research updates.

2) American Diabetes Association (ADA): www.diabetes.org – educational resources and family programs.

3) Beyond Type 1: www.beyondtype1.org – community stories, tips, and support networks.

If your child has symptoms such as frequent urination, excessive thirst, weight loss, or fatigue - or if type 1 diabetes runs in your family - call our office. We can help with testing, guidance, and next steps to keep your child healthy.

Frequent tummy aches in school-age children are often caused by constipation, stress, dietary changes, or mild infections.

The location of the pain can give clues: upper stomach pain may be due to reflux or gastritis, central (near umbilicus) stomach pain can signal constipation, and around the belly button is often normal, especially in younger children.

Most of the time, these aches are not serious. However, seek medical attention if your child has severe pain, persistent vomiting, blood in the stool, or unexplained weight loss.

Keeping a diary of symptoms, meals, and school events can help identify triggers and guide treatment. Also, you can help by encouraging hydration, offering fiber-rich foods, promoting regular bathroom habits, and using relaxation techniques if stress may be a trigger.

Concerned about your child’s stomach pain? Schedule a visit so we can figure out the cause and give guidance on relief strategies.

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.
