Is it fall allergies or just a cold? Parents often wonder this time of year and we’ve seen an increase in questions around colds, viral illnesses, allergies, and fevers.

Here’s a simple way to tell:
🤧 Allergies usually mean itchy, watery eyes, sneezing, and a clear runny nose but *no* fever.
🤒 Colds often bring fever, body aches, and thicker mucus that goes away in about a week or two.

Both can make your child feel crummy, but the right care makes a big difference! At The Children’s Clinic of Conway & Greenbrier, our board-certified team helps families know what’s normal, what’s not, and when medications are necessary for adequate recovery.

If your kiddo has a high fever, ear pain, or symptoms that just don’t get better, we’re here for you!

🌟 Don’t wait and wonder. Call us.

The UAMS Milk Bank is experiencing a *critical shortage* of donor milk and is asking mothers with extra stored milk to consider donating.

Your gift of milk can make a life-saving difference for fragile and premature babies in NICUs across Arkansas and beyond.

Learn more or start the donation process at:

Let’s come together as a community to help Arkansas babies grow and thrive! 🍼💚💫

Providing human milk saves the lives of fragile newborns who cannot get their own mother’s milk. Some mothers don’t have enough milk to feed their babies while they are in the hospital, but healthy breastfeeding mothers at home can help us make sure those babies continue to get human milk…

Do flu shots really work?
Every year parents debate this question, but pediatricians and pediatric providers do not. Here’s why… 👇🏼

The CDC and American Academy of Pediatrics confirm flu vaccines reduce the risk of severe flu illness by 40–60% each year. While no vaccine is perfect, flu shots turn what could be a dangerous infection into something far more manageable.

Choosing to be vaccinated helps protect those who are unable to receive the vaccine. This includes infants under 6 months and children with weakened immune systems or chronic health conditions.

When families choose vaccination, they provide an important layer of protection for their kiddos and other children.

The reality is that flu causes thousands of hospitalizations and deaths in the U.S. each year, even in otherwise healthy children. This is why our pediatricians and pediatric providers choose to vaccinate their own children and continue to advocate for the health of those in Central Arkansas and Faulkner County.
