December 20th/travel tips

We are seeing a lot of ear infections this week.
Many kids have some fever and there are a few cases of vomiting kids around.
Dr Kaplan wanted to pass along some info on a Soocer injury prevention clinic in Mission Bay on Januaury 5th 2011 5:30-7:00PM.
call 318-8138 for more info.
Many of our families are traveling this month.
It is always a wise idea to scope out the options for seeking local medical care before you go anywhere.
Travel with tylenol or Ibuprofen.
If you child has a history of wheezing, stop Murphy's law in its tracks by bringing your nebulizer and medications along with you.
Find out in advance...
*What kind of insurance do you have and what will be your best bet for reimbursement?
*Do you have friend's or family with a local pediatrician who is willing to see a traveling patient?
*Where is the closest travel clinic or ER?

If your child seems ill while you are traveling, We are always happy to advise you by phone and help you decide if your child needs to be seen or not.

Stay well and have healthy holidays..
Thanks to everyone for the lovely photos cards and treats that we have recieved this month!!
