After a few quiet weeks, things seem to be getting quite a bit busier.
As Dr Kaplan says, we are having an epidemic of New Borns. I wonder if something special was going on nine months ago?!
Regarding the illnesses that are going around....
Last week we saw a few cases of Strep Throat.
Today I have seen quite a few patients with fevers. The fevers are moderate and have been lasting 3-4 days. Many of the kids also have a croupy sounding cough with this.
There have been tons of kids with bug bites that have been quite bothersome.
We are also seeing lots of kids with mysterious rashes.
I have a handful of kids with some type of tummy bug/ more vomiting than diarrhea.
We anticipate that we will get our first shipments of the Flu Vaccine later this month.
I will be updating you here with all the Flu info as soon as there is anything to report.
Stay well.
