Winter is just around the corner, bringing with it the usual wave of seasonal illnesses.

It’s been a big week of celebrations here at Carolina Pediatrics! Today, we had the pleasure of showering our Front Office and Customer Service teams with appreciation. You get to see these wonderful people when you check in, and you’ve probably received a phone call from them too.

Babies cry for various reasons, and understanding these can help soothe them. They often cry when hungry, signaling it's time for a meal, or when tired, indicating the need for a nap. Overfeeding can lead to discomfort and fussiness. If breastfeeding, caffeine intake might affect your baby and cause irritability. Clothing discomfort, such as scratchy tags or tight clothes, can also make a baby cry. A wet or dirty diaper is a common source of discomfort. Colicky babies may cry for extended periods without an apparent reason. Painful causes like teething, stomachaches, or other physical discomforts can also lead to crying. Remember, a happy baby is a healthy baby! https://www.cptriad.com/resources/Is-Your-Child-Sick/?tArticleId=624 #BabyCare #ParentingTips 🌟

🤧 Did you know that respiratory viruses are the primary cause of colds? Common symptoms of a cold include nasal congestion, ear congestion, a hoarse voice, poor appetite, and red, watery eyes. These symptoms can be quite uncomfortable and might make daily activities challenging. On average, children experience about 6 colds per year, which can be especially tough for parents managing their care. It's crucial to understand effective at-home remedies, such as staying hydrated, using saline nasal sprays, and ensuring plenty of rest to alleviate symptoms. Knowing how long a typical cold lasts—usually about 7 to 10 days—can also help in planning and managing expectations for recovery. Stay informed and keep your family healthy! #Colds #StayHealthy 🌡️ https://www.cptriad.com/resources/Is-Your-Child-Sick/?tArticleId=582 #StayHealthy #PreventionIsKey
🌡️ Fever is the body's defense against infection by viruses or bacteria (over 100.4°F). Parents, use Tylenol or Motrin to reduce temperature but don't switch between them. 🏡 Keep kids home until they are 24 hours fever-free to prevent spreading illness. https://www.cptriad.com/resources/Is-Your-Child-Sick/?tArticleId=643 #ParentingTips #StayHealthy #Fever #ChildHealth #TemperatureCheck
