Kids' Bugs Are Circulating ~

 

We're now seeing lots of cases of strep throat, upper respiratory bugs, and ear aches.

Now that school's in session, the best way to avoid spreading illness is to instruct your kids to wash their hands frequently.

Usually high fever, swollen neck glands, and pus at the back of the throat are symptoms that suggest your child may have strep throat. Also, there's usually no cough or runny nose present. If that sounds like what you're seeing, it's important to make an appointment to be tested. If it is strep, a prescription will be needed to treat it.
