Not much to report.
Most of our calls this week have been interesting rashes ( which have not turned out to be anything alarming)
I may be seeing some hand foot mouth, but it is a quiet rumbling, not a roar yet.
I have seen some mild fevers.
Otherwise all is quiet on the Noe valley Front.
I will check in next week.
If you have a middle school or high school child, make sure they have had their TDap Booster.
The City has added a 30 day grace period, but after that, if they can't show proof of immunization they will not be allowed in school.
be Well

Tuesday July 19th
I think I am starting to see a couple of the seasonal viral syndromes that come around a few times a year.
I have one patient who almost surely has slap cheek and several who likely have hand foot mouth.
If you search the blog entries you will find more info about both of these illnesses.
We also have some cases of a tummy bug out there, a few miserable kids with Mono, and some random fevers.
Our new schedule in the office has Dr Hurd working with out on Monday's and Fridays. She is our new acute care doctor. On the days that she works, typically the schedule will start with lots of open appointments so getting in on those days with mild issues should be pretty easy.

For the most part things are fairly mellow.
There are some kids with fevers.
We are seeing plenty of coughs and colds.
The tummies have been quieter finally.
I am still seeing an odd assortment of mystery rashes that have not turned out to be anything of concern.

The tummy bug persists. This has been the most prevalent complaint of the day by far.
Most have both vomiting and diarrhea. The kids don't seem too ill.
We have lots of kids with coughs and colds, and a few wheezers.
Plenty of sore throats are out there, but none have shown up as strep throat with the office test.
We are also seeing lots of odd rashes.
Summer is here, make sure your kids stay hydrated, and be wiser than me and make sure you use plenty of sunscreen. ( I got myself a good burn this weekend..ouch)

Most of my calls this morning involved a tummy bug.
This one does not seem to linger too long and has involved a day or 2 of vomiting, a bit of diarrhea and a low grade fever.
We are now seeing sore throats that test positive for strep and some kids with a viral fever.
We had a child bitten by a squirrel in Golden gate park this weekend. She was feeding them and this squirrel was fairly bold. As a rule, squirrels are not a rabies risk, but having your child hold out food for them should not be encouraged.
