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!)

Whoop there it is!

Pertussis, also known as whooping cough, is making a comeback this year, with cases reported five times higher than last year. This highly contagious disease can be severe, especially for young children and babies, leading to dangerous coughing fits that can make it hard to breathe.

Protect your child by ensuring they are up-to-date on their vaccinations, including the DTaP and Tdap vaccines, which help prevent pertussis. We also recommend all adults stay up-to-date on their Tdap vaccination to help protect the infants that are not old enough for a vaccine. Pregnant women should get the Tdap if recommended by their OB provider as this can help protect their baby after delivery.

Not sure if your child is up-to-date on their pertussis vaccine? Call our office today to check their vaccine status.

Baby, it`s cold outside…this is the perfect season to snuggle up by a warm fire.

While fireplaces can be cozy and comforting, it’s crucial to follow safety guidelines to avoid risks such as burns, carbon monoxide poisoning, or fire hazards.

- Always use a fireplace screen to prevent sparks from escaping
- Never leave children unattended around a fire
- Ensure your chimney is clean and free of blockages
- Keep flammable materials away from the fireplace
- Make sure to extinguish the fire completely before going to bed

If you need more information about how to keep your family safe this winter season, contact our office today to speak to one of our phone nurses.

Stay safe and warm this winter season!

The new year is a great time for families to talk about resolutions and set goals together!

Here are some age-specific ideas to help your kids build healthy habits for a strong start to the year:
~ Toddlers: Keep active play a priority—dancing, running, and outdoor exploration help develop motor skills and burn energy. Introduce simple routines, like brushing teeth twice a day and washing hands before meals. Encourage trying new foods and textures to build a positive relationship with healthy eating.

~ School-Age Kids: Swap sugary drinks for water and encourage balanced meals with fruits and veggies. Build screen-free time into their day for homework, family activities, or hobbies like puzzles or crafts. Create a bedtime routine that includes reading or quiet time to improve sleep quality.

~ Teens: Prioritize sleep by aiming for 8-10 hours a night to support focus and growth. Encourage daily movement through activities they enjoy, like sports, walking, or yoga. Help them set stress-management goals, such as journaling, limiting screen time before bed, or exploring a new hobby to stay engaged.

Talking about resolutions as a family sets a positive tone for the year ahead and helps kids take small steps toward lifelong healthy habits. Share some of your family goals with us in the comments!

Asthma is the most common chronic condition in children with approximately 4.8 million children living with a diagnosis.

Winter can be a challenging season for kids with asthma. Cold, dry air and indoor allergens like dust can trigger asthma exacerbations, leading to coughing, wheezing, and shortness of breath.

It`s essential to ensure that your child has a proper asthma management plan in place, which includes using medications as prescribed, avoiding triggers, and keeping indoor air clean. Layering up and keeping your child warm can also help minimize cold-induced asthma attacks.

Is your child due for an asthma follow-up? We recommend an asthma check up every three to six months. Call our office today to schedule an appointment to have your child’s asthma assessed.

It is RSV season!

Respiratory Syncytial Virus (RSV) is a common respiratory virus that can cause severe illness, particularly in babies and young children. RSV is most commonly seen from November through March each year. Symptoms often mimic a cold but can progress to wheezing, coughing, and difficulty breathing. While most children recover at home with rest, fluids, and fever management, some may require hospitalization for oxygen support or other treatments.

If your child shows signs of RSV, especially if they have difficulty breathing, a fever, or are very lethargic, seek medical attention immediately.

We also recommend infants aged birth to 8 months receive RSV immunization to help reduce risk of severe complications from RSV. Pregnant women between 32 and 36 weeks during the months of September through January should also receive the vaccine to help protect their baby after they are born.

Good news momma, if you already had the vaccine your baby is protected!
