How well do you know common kids’ medications? 💊 Acetaminophen is a go-to for pain and fever relief when dosed correctly. Ibuprofen is another safe option, often used for similar symptoms. Diphenhydramine helps with allergies and sometimes sleep, but should be used cautiously in little ones. Aspirin, however, isn’t recommended for children under 12 because it can cause a rare but serious condition called Reye’s syndrome. Did you guess correctly? ✅ The answer is Aspirin. As always, talk to your pharmacist or doctor before giving any medication to children.

July is UV Safety Awareness Month, so let’s address a common myth. Think you’re safe from sunburn in the shade? Not quite… 🚫 Myth: You can’t get a sunburn in the shade. ✅ Truth: UV rays can reflect off water, sand, pavement, and even grass. Shade helps, but it doesn’t block all exposure. To keep yourself safe from harmful rays, follow proper sun safety: wear SPF 30+, use hats and sunglasses, stay hydrated, and reapply sunscreen every two hours. Even in the shade, your skin still needs backup. ☀️

With pool parties and lake days amping up this season, we’re here to set the record straight… 🚫 Myth: You have to wait 30 minutes after eating before swimming. ✅ Truth: There's no scientific reason you have to wait. The common belief that swimming immediately after eating causes stomach cramps or increases the risk of drowning is not supported by scientific evidence. You might feel more sluggish swimming after a big meal, but you're not at serious risk. As always, swim smart, stay hydrated, and listen to your body. 🛟 Source: Mayo Clinic
