We still have quite a few patients with a high fever/ congestion illness. This has been lasting 4-5 days. Many of the parents have been quite miserable with this as well.
So far, although it seems quite flu like, it is NOT testing positive for the real deal Influenza.
We have some cases of strep throat, but most of the sore throats out there are testing negative. ( and sore throats abound!!!)
For the patients over one year of age, I do really like Honey Loquat syrup ( you can get it from whole foods) It is very soothing. For the older kids, gargling with salt water is also very useful.
I am still seeing lots of blotchy rashes and bug bites.
I am seeing a few patients with loose stools.
Last week I had a few cases of croup. (The kids wake up during the night with a seal like, barky cough)
If you are still not protected for the upcoming season, We do have our drop in flu shot clinic scheduled on October 20th 9:30-12:30 for our patients and families.
Stay well,
Judy
