Hepatitis B vaccine is given as a series of three injections. It protects against the Hepatitis B virus, which affects the liver. This is important, as those infected become lifelong carriers of the virus and may develop long-term liver problems.

08/14/2023

If your child has cold or flu symptoms with a fever, talk to your doctor about giving him or her children’s acetaminophen or ibuprofen for relief. Children or teens with flu-like symptoms should never be given aspirin, as this increases the risk of Reye’s syndrome.

08/11/2023

Does your child get motion sickness? This may happen on anything from the car, to a train, or a plane. When venturing out, you should be prepared to handle a bout of motion sickness. There are many solutions, both medical and non-medical, to motion sickness.

Unfortunately, not all children recover from respiratory ailments as quickly as we want them to feel better. Rest assured that we’re always available to provide treatment and guidance when your child’s symptoms linger.

08/04/2023

The CDC recommends that all children between six months and four years of age get the flu shot every year, as kids in this age group are at greater risk for developing health problems from the flu. Babies younger than six months are still considered high risk, but they cannot receive the flu shot.

08/02/2023

When you’re a first-time parent, it’s natural to wonder whether your child has a simple cold or something more severe. While cold symptoms in the absence of nausea or fever are usually best treated at home, bringing your child to the pediatrician could give you peace of mind.

07/31/2023

It’s important to understand that, if your child has the common cold or the flu, your pediatrician will not prescribe him or her antibiotics. This is because antibiotics will only kill bacteria and won’t do a thing to fight either a cold or flu.

07/28/2023

We recognize how important it is to keep your children home from grade school or daycare when they have contagious illnesses. If you’re not sure whether it’s safe for your child to be around other kids, we may be able to offer guidance.

07/26/2023

It’s important to understand that the flu isn’t the same thing as a stomach bug. While children may experience nausea, stomach pain, and/or vomiting with the flu, the key symptoms include high fever, chills, body aches/headache, sore throat, and a dry hacking cough.

07/17/2023

It can sometimes be difficult to tell if your child is suffering from a common cold or the flu. One major difference between the two is that, with the flu, the onset of illness is usually sudden. In addition, a high fever usually accompanies influenza.

07/10/2023

One of the most important things to remember when working with a pediatrician is that you’re both working together to keep your child healthy. Good communication can be a huge benefit to this, such as letting him or her know if symptoms persist or medication doesn’t work.

07/07/2023

According to studies, proper hand washing is one of the best ways to reduce the risk of catching a cold. It’s important to teach your child to wash his or her hands after every trips to the bathroom, before every meal, and periodically both at school and at home.

07/03/2023

06/30/2023

Before you call your pediatrician or check with him or her when there’s a problem, make sure you’re prepared. Take your child’s temperature, and write down the symptoms, so you can reference them. Also, make sure to have paper and a pen/pencil ready, so you can write down instructions.

06/28/2023

It’s important to understand that flu symptoms can vary from child to child, and they can change as the illness progresses. If you suspect the flu, it’s always best to call your pediatrician, and prompt treatment can be important in preventing secondary infections and other complications.

06/26/2023

Eating too many of those fatty foods such as butter, spreads, and fried meat is not a good idea for your child’s growing body. They may want a big helping of potatoes at meal time, but remind them to go easy on the butter. Although they need some fats to get all the nutrients they need, it’s better for their health if it’s in moderation.

06/23/2023

There are several symptoms that indicate it’s time to call the pediatrician if your child has the flu. This includes a fever of 103 degrees F or higher, a cough that doesn’t improve within a week, any signs of dehydration, or difficulty breathing.

06/19/2023

If your child is diagnosed with the flu enough, your pediatrician might choose to treat him or her with antiviral drugs (in the form of pills, liquid, or an inhaler). Antiviral drugs should ideally be started within two days of flu onset and taken for five days total.

The very first dedicated pediatric hospital was the Hôpital des Enfants Malades (Hospital for Sick Children) in Paris, founded in 1802. It only accepted patients as old as 15 years, and is still in existence today as the pediatrics division of the Necker-Enfants Malades Hospital.

06/14/2023

Most colds are caused by rhinoviruses, which are contained in invisible droplets in both the air we breathe and commonly touched surfaces like doorknobs and toys. When the rhinovirus infiltrates the protective lining in your child’s nose and throat, this triggers an immune system reaction we know as the common cold.

06/12/2023

For most of history, pediatrics and adult medicine weren’t separated, but that changed in the 1600s. The Enfants-Trouvés (Hospice for Foundlings) was founded in 1674, and gradually, locations were founded specifically for sick children that were separate from adult patients.

06/09/2023

If your child has a cold, it’s important to protect others from catching the cold, which is why you should keep your child home from school. Also, teach your child to cover his or her mouth when sneezing and to use a tissue for nose blowing.

06/07/2023

When it comes to children with allergies, an important step in managing the allergy symptoms is going to involve avoiding the allergens that trigger them. It’s recommended that your pediatrician perform allergy testing to determine what environmental allergens your child may be allergic to.

05/29/2023

Modern pediatrics was founded by Dr. Abraham Jacobi in 1860. He began offering medical lectures on childhood diseases and was one of the first to advocate and teach well-child practices related to infant feeding, hygiene, and disease prevention.

05/26/2023

Did you know that it can take around two weeks after the flu vaccine for your child’s body to build up adequate protection against the flu? Thus, it’s important to get your child’s flu vaccine done before the flu season is in full force.
