I hope everyone had a nice holiday and that all the travelers out there have easy trips home.
There is a lot of coughing out there. We have some confirmed cases of RSV..a nasty bronchiolitic sounding cough.
Our littlest patients can have a hard time with this and may end up in the hospital for observaion. Older children simply deal with this aggravating cough and congestion.
If you have a very young baby please avoid crowds and exposure as much as you reasonably can.
We have had plenty of patients with sore throats today. About 25% of them have tested positive for strep throat.
There have been some calls with complaints about loose stools and vomiting.
I am still seeing folks with a moderate fever.. This has lasted about 3 days so far and I do not think it is the actual influenza.
Stay well
