Our community is seeing large numbers of both pneumonia and whooping cough (pertussis). Please reach out if your child is coughing and you have concerns.
Also today is our last flu clinic. If your child has not had their seasonal flu vaccine please call and schedule today!

When it seems like a cold is lasting longer than 7-10 days and a cough is getting worse, it could be walking pneumonia. Learn more here.

Have a safe and wonderful 4th of July. Pediatrics West will be closed for the holiday weekend but Dr. Manion is on call and able to help you answer any questions or concerns you may have.

​Each July 4th, thousands of people, most often children and teens, are injured while using consumer fireworks. The AAP continues to urge families view public 4th of July displays rather than buying fireworks for their own or their children's use. Learn more here.

Confirmed Measles cases have been identified in Illinois. As of 3/14/24 no confirmed cases have been identified in Wisconsin but we want parents to be alert of the outbreak. The best way to protect your children is through immunization. Please reach out if you have any questions.

Measles is caused by a virus that can spread easily through the air when an infected person sneezes or coughs and someone nearby inhales the infected droplets. It can also be transmitted by direct contact with fluids from the nose or mouth of an infected person.

Pediatrics West hours will likely be affected by the snow today. Please call the office first before heading out. Doctor Manion can be paged by calling the office if we are unable to open due to the road conditions.

Screentime picks up a lot over the holidays: from playing new video games, keeping up with friends on social media, to binge-watching your holiday favorites. Check out these tips if you’re looking for ways to manage your family’s media use while everyone’s home over the break:
🗣️ Keep open lines of communication between you and your child about media. Encourage them to ask questions about technology and their relationship with it.

✅ Set your family up for success by setting and communicating media expectations at the beginning of break. Set these standards for the entire family.

📺 Watch a movie together or take the time to play your child’s favorite game. It can be a great conversation starter about topics like mental health, friend drama or what it feels like to be a kid these days.

📴 Model with your own media device how your children should be using them (or not using them) while on break.

👪 Make time for activities that do not include technology.
