As the temperature drops, respiratory syncytial virus — or RSV — begins to circulate more widely, especially among young children. Symptoms include fever, severe cough, rapid breathing and wheezing.

RSV can affect anyone, but newborns and young infants are most susceptible. Thankfully, there are two main options for preventing RSV that have been approved by the FDA:

• Vaccines for pregnant people to prevent RSV in their newborns
• An antibody product to protect babies birth through 18 months

You can also prevent RSV through the following lifestyle habits:

• Washing your hands often with soap and water
• Covering your mouth when you cough or sneeze
• Limiting contact with people who are sick
• Regularly cleaning toys and high-touch surfaces
• Ensuring kids do not share food and drink

Most cases of RSV go away on their own in one or two weeks with at-home treatment, but more severe cases may require medical attention. If your little one is exhibiting symptoms of RSV, stop by Tanner Urgent Care for Kids for convenient, compassionate care.

Back to school means back to sports — and with them comes an uptick in sprains, strains and bumps. Any injury can happen when kids push their limits.

How do you prevent an injury?
🏃🏻 Warm up: Jogging and stretches help muscles get game (or practice) ready.
💧 Hydrate: Even on cooler days, remind young athletes that hydration is key!
🧤 Gear up: Wearing protective gear helps keep everyone safe and having fun.
🛏️ Rest: Getting rest between practices is vital to avoid injuries due to overuse.

Remember: If the pain lingers, don’t brush it off. Early evaluations can prevent minor injuries from turning into season-ending incidents. Supporting our athletes now keeps them strong and active all year long.

If your athlete finds themselves on the injured list, Tanner Urgent Care for Kids is open seven days a week. Learn more and schedule ahead at https://bit.ly/479Ib8R.

Late summer is the perfect time for having fun outdoors, but it’s also a high-risk season for fires due to grills, bonfires and dry conditions. Please review the following tips to help your family stay safe around fires this season:

⛽ Never use gasoline or other flammable accelerants to start a fire.
🍂 Remove leaves, sticks and grass around a fire to avoid spreading.
🔥 Keep blankets, chairs and children three feet away from bonfires.
🪵 Never light a fire during a fire ban or when conditions are windy.
🍔 Teach children never to touch a grill — even if it looks like it’s off.
🏕️ Only use designated fire rings and pits when starting a campfire.
🔦 Use battery-powered flashlights instead of candles inside tents.
🚰 Fully extinguish fires by pouring water on the ashes and stirring.

Don’t let burns or other fire-related injuries put a damper on your fun.
