Monday March 19th

Wow, what ISN'T going around?!
We are seeing a lot of kids with a very persistent colds and coughs. In some cases, this illness has been lingering for 2 weeks or more
With the sicker looking or very young patients we are testing kids and coming up with positive results for both RSV and FLU.
The flu has had fevers lasting for a week in some cases.
If you or your child has been diagnosed with the flu, it is somewhat reassuring to know that the week long fever isn't necessarily something to worry about.
If your child has not been evaluated five days of fever is the longest I would want to let you wait before being seen.
We are seeing some strep throat and some hand foot mouth
We have been seeing some fairly nasty cases of croup.

stay well
Judy
