Monday update December 19th

We are seeing a lot of everything today without any major focus.
The biggest issue is probably the coughing patients. I have quite a few with croupy coughs ( who are mostly doing okay.)
We also have quite a few kids who are wheezing.The nebulizers have been humming along for most of the morning.
If you have a coughing child who has any labored breathing they should be evaluated. It is not the sound of the cough as much as how the respirations look, when figuring out if they need to be seen or not.
We have lots of strep throat out there.
Some random fevers
Some random rashes
For all of you who are planning to travel by plane this holiday, I strongly suggest having tylenol with you on the plane ( and more diapers than you think you will need)
I will check back in if there are any exciting changes.Otherwise Happy and healthy holidays!
