October 29th update

We are super busy in here today.

There are lots of coughs and colds around. The coughs are lingering for weeks. Many of my parents are ill with this one.

We are seeing lots of croup.
Most kids will be okay with steam and some outside air.
If you child still has air hunger after a good dose of steam, then you do want to take them over to the ER. We have had a handful of kids who have needed a shot of steroids to calm things down.

I have lots of kids with fevers that are lasting 4-5 days. The kids do NOT look too sick.
At day 5 I will be bringing them in for an evaluation if the fever hasn't gone.

There are quite a few cases of diarrhea starting up.

We had a few cases of strep throat reported through the weekend clinic.

Safe trick or treating out there!!
