We seem to be finally in the "summer season".
Kids are still getting sick here and there, but the acute care phone calls are way down.
We are keeping very busy with well child exams, but it is a nice change to have some of those winter ailments ease up.
My most common call today was all about gooey eyes. My most recent blog post addresses this for the youngest patients. For the older kids, gooey/ pink eyes can be viral, allergic or bacterial. If your child is in a daycare situation, they may want you to have your child evaluated to make sure they aren't contagious.
I am also getting some calls about hand/foot/mouth virus. So far none of the kids have anything more than a mild case, but it certainly seems that it is back in town.
Stay well,
Judy
