Spring temps = rising pollen = allergy season is coming!

As temperatures warm up, pollen counts are on the rise, and kids who are sensitive to spring pollens may start noticing sneezing, runny noses, itchy eyes, and congestion in the days ahead.

If your little one is sensitive to spring pollens, NOW is the time to start their allergy meds — don’t wait for symptoms to hit full force!

✅ Zyrtec or Claritin (daily antihistamine)
✅ Flonase or Nasonex (nasal spray — works best when started early!)

Consistency is key. Starting early helps keep symptoms manageable all season long. Reach out if you have questions!

Beacon Pediatrics will open from 1:30-5pm today for same day urgent care only. We have a skeleton crew of staff able to safely make it from their homes at this time but will do our best to see those patients who can safely make it to the office and need to be seen for urgent issues. Please be patient with any wait times you may incur. We are also making more appointments bookable through MyChart for those who are able to access it. Please scroll down to “Same Day Urgent Care” in order to see and book an appointment for today. All well visits and non urgent appointments for today have been cancelled. Stay safe and stay off the roads unless absolutely necessary!

Due to the hazardous road conditions, Beacon Pediatrics is planning for a delayed opening tomorrow (2/24). Our goal is to open for our afternoon and evening sessions starting at 1:30pm. This is contingent upon power, road and parking lot clean up and the Governor’s Travel Ban. Any further updates will be posted here. Patients needing to reschedule non-emergent appointments for the afternoon/evening can reach us after opening. ❄️🌨️

The National Weather Service continues to have a Blizzard Warning for the South Shore tomorrow (2/23). With the safety of our patients and staff in mind, Beacon Pediatrics will be closed for the day. Telephone triage will be available for urgent matters. We anticipate opening on Tuesday but will post here with updates if we are unable to open as expected due to power loss or snow clean up delay. Stay safe and warm!
