Hoppy Easter from all of us at
Kids 0to18 Integrative Pediatrics!

We’re wishing you a joyful, healthy, and safe holiday weekend! As you enjoy egg hunts, treats, and springtime fun, here are a few friendly reminders to help keep your little ones safe:

• Sweet treats in moderation: Too much sugar can upset little tummies. Mix in some healthy snacks to balance the fun!
• Watch out for food allergies: Always check candy labels and ask about ingredients—especially at egg hunts or parties.
• Egg hunt safety: If you're using real eggs, make sure they're handled safely and not left out too long.
• Keep moving: Make Easter active with games, walks, or outdoor fun!
• Choking hazards: Keep small candies and toys out of reach of tiny hands (and mouths).

From our family to yours, we hope your Easter is filled with love, laughter, and lots of hopping around!

Spring Allergies in Kids: Tips to Keep Them Under Control

As the flowers bloom and the weather warms up, many children begin to experience the discomfort of spring allergies. At KIDS 0to18 Integrative Pediatrics, we want to help you keep your child feeling their best during this beautiful season. Here are some practical tips for managing spring allergies and knowing when to seek help:

1. Know the Symptoms of Spring Allergies

Common signs that your child may be suffering from spring allergies include:

- Sneezing

- Runny or stuffy nose

- Itchy or watery eyes

- Coughing

- Post-nasal drip or sore throat

- Fatigue or irritability

2. Tips to Keep Allergies Under Control

- Limit outdoor activities on high pollen days. Pollen counts are typically higher in the mornings, so try to keep kids indoors during those hours.

- Keep windows closed at home and in the car to prevent pollen from getting inside.

- Shower and change clothes after outdoor play to remove pollen from skin and clothing.

- Use a HEPA air purifier in your child’s bedroom to help reduce allergens in the air.

- Keep your child hydrated to help flush out allergens from their system.

- Use saline nasal sprays to wash out pollen and other irritants from your child's nasal passages.

3. When to Consider Allergy Medications

If your child’s symptoms are persistent or affecting their daily activities (like school or play), allergy medications might be needed. Over-the-counter antihistamines, nasal sprays, or eye drops may help but always consult with a pediatrician to find the best solution for your child.

4. Schedule a Visit with Us

Spring allergies can often be managed with simple changes but some kids may need extra help. If your child is struggling with allergies it's a good idea to schedule a visit with us. At KID 0to18 Integrative Pediatrics, we can provide:

- Personalized treatment plans

- Natural and integrative approaches to help manage symptoms

Ready to take control of your child’s spring allergies? Call us today at (253) 400-0218 or schedule an appointment online at https://www.kids0218.com/

Stay allergy-free and enjoy the season! 🌿
