From Dr. Pedoeim:

Cold season is here! Gentle nasal suction + a few drops of saline = big relief for tiny noses. Swipe for tips to make suctioning a more successful (if not more pleasant) experience! 🤧

From Dr. Pedoeim:

With cooler temperatures setting in, respiratory season may be just around the corner - bringing with it lots of stuffiness, runny noses, and fevers 🤒
We know that fevers mean staying home from daycare and school, but when does a fever warrant a visit to the doctor’s office? While there’s no one rule, here’s a few instances where your child should be seen:

- When a fever has lasted more than 3 days
- When a fever is above 104F (in a toddler/older child) or above 100.4F (in an infant - taken rectally!)
- When the fever is accompanied by dehydration or breathing concerns

While these loose guidelines may help you decide when to come in, it’s always best to trust your gut - parents, you know your kids best! And if you’re still unsure, remember that you can always call and speak to a member of our team for advice tailored to your child! 🤧

From Dr. Pedoeim:
We all know that feeling: the provider asks if you have any questions or concerns, and it seems like every detailed thought you’ve been storing up for this visit suddenly slips out of your mind. We know that the stress and sleep-deprivation that comes with your child’s illness can make it hard to keep things straight, so we recommend keeping a list of questions ahead of time that you can refer to during your visit 🤒
Finding yourself wondering what questions to ask or what details to provide as we head into the winter illness season? Swipe for some suggestions of info that can help your provider take the best possible care of your child! 🩺

From Dr. Kennedy:
It’s October, which means it’s officially Beyfortus season!
- Beyfortus is a monoclonal antibody against RSV, a virus that is one of the leading causes of hospitalizations for infants in the winter months.
- Beyfortus provides protection near immediately after given, and has fantastic safety data & efficacy (reduces severe RSV, hospitalizations etc!).
- This can be given at any age 2 weeks prior to delivery, your infant does not need Beyfortus

When you schedule, feel free to bring any questions you have to your pediatrician! 🫶🏼

From Dr. Pedoeim: As flu season approaches, we want to remind all parents that the flu vaccine is now available and recommended for children 6 months and older! 💉✨

Some important info for this winter season:

🔵 First timers 👶 If this is your child’s first flu vaccine, they’ll need two doses, spaced 4 weeks apart, to help boost their immunity

🔵 Egg Allergies? No Problem! 🐣 While most flu vaccines contain a small amount of egg protein, studies have shown it’s safe for children with egg allergies to receive the vaccine at their pediatrician’s office - though we always recommend speaking with your child’s pediatrician or allergist to confirm!

🔵 Get Vaccinated Before Halloween! 🎃 With flu waves starting earlier in recent years, it’s important to protect your family before the festivities kick off - we recommend vaccinating early!

Self-Scheduling Available 💻 You can easily book your appointment online for our flu vaccine clinic, which is open to both kids and parents!

From Dr. Kennedy:
Infant stools can be various colors of the rainbow without cause for concern - yellow, green, brown! However, an infant with white/colorless stool is considered an urgent concern. Please notify your pediatrician if you notice a lack of color to the stools in the newborn stage!

For what it’s worth, acholic stools can happen to older babies/toddlers during a stomach virus without need to worry, but you should always ask your pediatrician if you’re concerned!

08/29/2025

From Dr. Pedoeim:

The first few weeks of school are exciting, but can also leave kids feeling a bit drained — emotionally, mentally, and physically.

New routines, social changes, academic pressure, and sensory overload all take a toll, even on the most eager students.

Here’s how to help your child recharge:
- Build in quiet, screen-free time after school
- Protect their sleep schedule (even on weekends!)
- Offer low-pressure check-ins: “How was today?”
- Prioritize play and movement outside when possible
- Keep evenings calm — it’s okay to skip an activity or two!

And if your child seems persistently overwhelmed, anxious, or irritable, we’re here to help - burnout shouldn’t last all year! Sending positive vibes and wishes for a wonderful start to the school year from all of us at Potomac Pediatrics to our patients and families! ✏️📚🤓

From Dr. Kennedy:
When most people think about diabetes, they don’t picture young children losing weight and thirsty! But for type 1 diabetes, an autoimmune form of diabetes, this is often how it presents. Knowing the signs is key!

08/14/2025

From Dr. Pedoeim:
The pool has been a welcome relief from this summer’s heat wave - but long days spent at the pool in our swimsuits also means an uptick in vaginitis, an extremely common problem in pediatrics! 🩱
The symptoms caused by this irritation (which is often worsened by spending long periods in damp clothing) can seem just like a urinary tract infection - with many girls describing pain with urination, as well as an increased frequency and urgency in needing to go to the bathroom. But thankfully, this condition is not caused by infection and so can be easily managed at home with some simple measures - like wearing loose cotton clothing (underwear optional!) and warm water baths (minus the bubbles, which can actually cause or worsen vaginitis as well!) 🛁
It can be hard to distinguish between a UTI and vaginitis - so when in doubt, reach out to your provider and see whether an in-office visit with testing to check for infection is the right move for your child!

08/08/2025

From Dr. Kennedy:
Tis the season of impetigo! If you see random blisters seemingly popping up out of nowhere, with no known burn or trauma to the area, it may be impetigo! This needs antibiotics, so be sure to come in for evaluation!
