Most of my calls today have been folks plagued with the tummy bug. This is coming with all sorts of combinations of vomiting/ diarrhea/ gassy tummy aches and some fever.
I have a few patients who have been dealing with this for 3 or 4 days.
Refer to the earlier tummy bugs blog post for advice on treatment
The same post is also on my new blog nursejudynvp.blogspot.com where it might be easier to find
We have tons of kids with coughs and mild colds. Allergies are starting to flare up a bit with all the lovely things blooming out there.
We are also seeing quite a bit of conjunctivitis. If you have an older child, it might be worth seeing if the eyes clear up with an over the counter allergy eye drop. My favorite brand is Zaditor.
For younger kids with the goopey eyes, we often like to see them to make sure they don't have an ear infection. Those often go together.
We are getting lots of requests for forms to be filled out for summer camps and activities.
Our office does have a $10 form fee ( $20 if you need it immediately, so plan ahead)
If you have an exam scheduled and you bring the form with you, the fee will be waived.
Enjoy this lovely weather!
