We are seeing a lot of fluA in the office this week 🤧 Here’s a breakdown of the differences between Flu A and Flu B to help families understand what’s going around:

Flu A
• Most common type
• Often causes more severe illness
• More likely to lead to outbreaks and epidemics
• Can infect humans and animals
• Symptoms can come on suddenly and be intense (high fever, body aches, fatigue)

Flu B
• Usually milder than Flu A (but can still be serious, especially in kids)
• Spreads mostly among humans
• Often shows up later in flu season
• Symptoms are similar but sometimes less severe

Important to know
• Both Flu A and B are contagious
• Both can cause serious illness in children
• Treatment and testing are similar
• The flu vaccine protects against both types

If your child has fever, cough, sore throat, body aches, vomiting, or extreme fatigue, give us a call. Early evaluation can make a big difference

We’re just 9 days away from Christmas 🎄—let’s do our best to stay healthy so everyone can enjoy the holidays!
Wash hands often, get plenty of rest, stay hydrated, and keep little ones home if they’re sick. Here’s to a happy, healthy countdown to Christmas ❤️

Cold, flu, and everything in between are going around! 🤒
Help protect yourself and others by washing your hands, disinfecting shared surfaces, covering coughs and sneezes, and staying home when you’re sick. A little prevention goes a long way!

Dr. Tashman had an amazing time visiting Crispell Middle School for Career Day! He loved talking with students about what it’s like to be a pediatrician, answering their thoughtful questions, and hopefully inspiring a few future healthcare heroes. 💙💛

Thank you to Crispell for inviting Circleville Pediatrics to speak to the students— we love being part of this community!
