April 4th 2011

Last week felt much quieter than today.
We have had a high volume of calls and sick kids.
I have seen a lot of conjunctivitis. Many of these kids have also had ear infections.
If you child has goopy eyes and is also fussy, we should take a look.

I have seen an upswing in the amounts of patients complaining about vomiting and diarrhea today.
I think I may be starting to see patients with 2 of our common spring viral syndromes.. Slap cheek and hand foot mouth.
if you search the blog you can find early entries about both of these.
There are still a few kids with fevers, but flu season seems to have ended.

Allergies are in high gear with all of the pollens around. Allergy complaints are generally watery itchy, eyes, clear runny nose. no fever.

Stay well
Judy
