Monday March 26th

There are a lot of fevers going around.
We have seen many kids with ear infections so if your child is fussy with the fever It is worth taking a look in the ears.
Many ear infections will go away on their own, however once in a while an untreated ear infection can cause the eardrum to rupture ( you will see drainage from the ear if this happens) frequent ruptures can lead to hearing loss.
If we are suspicious about an ear infection it is always a good idea to look.
An ear infection that has a high fever and a miserable kid is usually worth treating.

We are still seeing cases of RSV and Flu.
I have some reports of mild vomiting and diarrhea.

I had to cancel my illness class last week and MIGHT reschedule for this week on Wednesday evening the 28th if there is enough interest with such short notice

Stay well
Judy
