COLD & FLU SEASON
IS UPON US!
We encourage all
of our patients to come in for their annual flu vaccinations. Flu Immunization
clinics are scheduled on October 25th, 2008 and November 8th,
2008 from 9:00 am-12:00 pm. By appointment ONLY! Space
is limited.
Pediatric Partners is committed
to providing your children with the safest care possible. Our
providers are following the recommendations of the American
Academy of Pediatrics, which recommends that over the counter
(OTC) cough and cold preparations , specifically the multi-ingredient
medicines, not be used in children under the age of 6 years. There
have been medical studies conducted which show that these medications
do not work in children and the risk of over dosing your child
is higher.
Pediatric Partners recommends non-medicinal remedies for treatment
at home.
- Push fluids, its ok if your child is not interested in eating
if you are still able to get them to drink.
- Plenty of rest. Staying
home from school/activities when running a fever or if symptoms
interfere with normal activities.
- Run a humidifier in your child’s
room.
- Elevate your child’s head
of their bed.
- Try heavy syrup (such as from a can of fruit) for soothing
throats irritated from coughing.
- Frequent nasal suctioning for infants with nasal secretions.
- Tylenol/Motrin for fevers (infants
under 6 months of age should NOT be given Motrin). Any
infant under the age of 60 days must be seen immediately
in our office or the ER/urgent care for any fever over 100.5
rectally.
We recommend your child be seen
by one of our providers if they are having difficulty breathing,
coughing to the point of vomiting, if their cough &/or
nasal secretions interfere with their rest and taking in of
fluids.
Please call and speak with one of
our triage nurses if you have any concerns regarding your child’s
symptoms. |
