Holiday Hours
We are closing early on Wednesday (NOON)
We are closed all day on Thursday and back in for business all day on Friday.
We are seeing a tremendous amount of respiratory issues. There are more cases of pneumonia than we usually see at one time.
Of course most of our kids don't have pneumonia, there are tons of kids with fevers, coughs and congestion that are dealing with a week or so of illness and then manage to shake it off with simply symptomatic treatment.
Here are some guidelines
If your child has a high fever and a rattly cough they should be seen.
If there is any fever over 102 that does not reduce to at least 101 an hour after meds, they need to be seen
Any fever lasting more than 4-5 days needs to be checked out
Any labored breathing needs to be seen same day.
I am also seeing a number of folks with a tummy bug. Most of the folks have been managing without coming in to the Doctor. The key is hydration. Probiotics, and avoiding dairy ( Except for breast milk) are also helpful.
There is still some Hand Foot Mouth going around.
