Rashes are common in children and can range from mild irritation to signs of infection.

Some rashes, like eczema or heat rash, are usually harmless, while others such as rashes with fever, spreading redness, or blisters require prompt evaluation.

Pay attention to symptoms like pain, swelling, or changes in behavior.

If you’re unsure whether your child’s rash needs attention, call our office and we can guide you on next steps and provide timely care.

Welcoming a new baby can be exciting, but it can also be challenging for older siblings.

Preparing them ahead of time, involving them in care tasks, and setting aside special one-on-one time can help them adjust. Understanding that jealousy or regressions are normal helps families navigate this transition smoothly.

Need more strategies for helping your older child adjust to a new sibling? Call our office for guidance and practical tips tailored to your family.

Toddlers develop speech at different rates, but some signs may indicate the need for evaluation.

By around 2 years old, children should be combining words into simple 2-word sentences, and by 3 years old, about 90% of what they say should be understandable to a stranger. Watch for limited vocabulary, not using gestures or sounds to communicate, or losing previously acquired words. Early identification and intervention can make a big difference in language development.

Our office can evaluate your child’s speech and provide an appropriate referral to a speech therapist or early intervention if needed.

This week is National Nurse Practitioner Week!

Nurse practitioners (NPs) are advanced practice providers who diagnose, treat, prescribe, and manage your child’s health needs. In pediatrics, NPs focus on everything from well visits and preventive care to managing acute and chronic conditions. Their training allows them to provide high-quality, family-centered care as part of your child’s healthcare team.

Let’s give our NPs some love this week.

November is National Diabetes Month, and we want to show support for all the amazing kids and families managing type 1 diabetes every day. Managing diabetes can be a full-time job checking blood sugars, counting carbs, and balancing insulin, but with the right tools and support, children with diabetes can live healthy, active lives.

Here are a few trusted resources for families:

1) Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation (JDRF): www.jdrf.org – advocacy, support, and research updates.

2) American Diabetes Association (ADA): www.diabetes.org – educational resources and family programs.

3) Beyond Type 1: www.beyondtype1.org – community stories, tips, and support networks.

RSV season usually starts in September/October and usually peaks in January or February, mostly leaving our community by April or May. We have already seen several cases of RSV with patients here in Marin County.

Since the introduction of the Beyfortus immunization:
- Decreases the chance of getting RSV by 87.2%
- Hospitalization rates have decreased by 98%

If you have additional questions or interested in scheduling call our office today!

Trick-or-treating is exciting, but before the first bite, take a few minutes to check your child’s candy.

Discard anything that’s unwrapped, has torn packaging, or looks unusual. For little ones, avoid hard candies, gum, or other choking hazards. And if your child has a food allergy, read every label because sometimes treats can have different ingredients than the regular store-bought version.

Antibiotics are not always needed, but when they are, make sure you give your child the entire course.

The research of antibiotics has allowed us to know how many days of the medicine is needed to completely get rid of the infection. If you stop the antibiotic too soon, your child’s infection may rebound or they may develop resistance to the antibiotic. Also, after completing the entire course of the antibiotic make sure you throw away any leftover medicine. A child should never be given leftover antibiotics or given antibiotics prescribed to someone else. Antibiotics given before a diagnosis is made can alter results of tests such as a throat swab or urine culture.

Have questions about your child’s antibiotic prescription?
