When your child says their stomach hurts, it could be a minor issue like constipation or gas. However, it could also be a stomach bug — a type of illness that is never fun and comes with a host of symptoms.

Common things to watch out for include:

🤢 Nausea and vomiting
🚽 Diarrhea
💥 Stomach cramps
🚰 Trouble staying hydrated
🤕 Muscle aches or headache
🌡️ Low-grade fever

Often, stomach bugs are caused by viruses, foodborne germs or coming in close contact with someone who’s sick. Washing your hands, disinfecting hard surfaces and not sharing food and drink containers are great ways to prevent a stomach bug, but when your child is already dealing with symptoms, we’re here to help!

Let our talented team at Tanner Urgent Care for Kids help you sort out what’s going on and talk through the right treatment options. Walk in any time, or visit our website to view wait times or schedule ahead with an appointment.

The holidays are a time for family, fun and — let’s be honest — plenty of sweets. However, keeping kids healthy and active during this busy season doesn’t have to be complicated.

• Mix in movement: Turn holiday traditions into active ones. Consider going on neighborhood walks to see lights or hosting a dance party with festive music.

• Balance treats with nutrition: Keep an eye on seasonal sweets. Pair cookies and cocoa with ample amounts of fruit, veggies and water.

• Prioritize rest: Full schedules can wear kids down, and a good night’s sleep supports stronger immune systems.

Healthy routines don’t have to pause for the holidays. They can get a festive twist! 🎄

This season, help your kids enjoy the magic of holidays while staying active, energized and well — and if you need care, we’re here for you. Get care when you need it: walk in during business hours, book ahead online or schedule a virtual visit from the comfort of home. Learn more at https://bit.ly/479Ib8R.

Wishing you a season of health and happiness from all of us at Tanner Urgent Care for Kids!
