We are still seeing lots of kids with fevers.
Several patients also seem to have a tummy bug, some vomiting with mild diarrhea accompanied by low grade fevers
At the end of last week we were seeing lots of strep throat as well as strep butt..
Strep butt????? yes indeed.
Children under 2 rarely get strep throat but they can get a strep infection that presents as a super red pimply diaper rash. It is treated with antibiotics.
We have had several patients with pink eye today.
conjunctivitis can be viral, bacterial or allergic.
If eyes are very gooey and your child is fussy, we would like to see them rather than just giving drops. More than half of the time they also have an ear infection ( to the surprise of the parents)
Stay well
