Common Winter Sickness Finds ❄️
Winter brings a rise in illnesses that affect kids and families. Here’s what we see most often:
👂 Ear Infections
Often follow a cold or congestion. Look for ear pain, fever, irritability, or tugging at the ear. If pain continues or fever stays high, it’s time for a visit.
🤒 Flu (Influenza)
Shows up suddenly with fever, chills, body aches, and fatigue. The flu shot is the best protection. Seek care for high fever, dehydration, or trouble breathing.
😷 Common Colds
Stuffy nose, cough, and sore throat are the usual symptoms. Most colds last 7–10 days. Rest, fluids, and a humidifier help — but come in if symptoms worsen or linger.
Keeping your family healthy starts with early awareness and quick care when needed. 💙
