Wearing a helmet can help protect athletes from serious brain or head injuries, but there is no concussion-proof helmet!

Signs of concussion include headache, dizziness, blurred vision, difficulty thinking clearly, and sensitivity to noise & light.

If you think your athlete has a concussion, keep them out of play the day of the injury. Athletes should not return to play until cleared by an appropriate medical professional. Call our office if you have any concerns or need an evaluation.

Acetaminophen is safe for children when taken correctly. Here's our trusted dosing guide to use & be sure to talk to your pediatrician if you have questions! We're here to help, like we always have been 💙🧡

Other important things to know about acetaminophen:

✅ It is a common, over-the-counter medication used to treat pain and reduce fevers. It is available under multiple brand names, including Tylenol.

✅ There is no link between acetaminophen and increased autism rates. Decades of research have found that acetaminophen is safe when taken properly.

✅ If your child is under 3 months old, do not give acetaminophen without first consulting with your pediatrician. For kids over 3 months, acetaminophen can be given every 4-6 hours as needed for fever or pain. Children should not be given more than 4 doses in 24 hours. (Do not give chewable tablets to children under 2 due to the risk of choking.)
