Flu season in Georgia and Alabama usually runs from October to May, and as kids return to school after the holiday break, the chance of them showing symptoms increases. 📈

Know the signs, so you can keep your family safe:
🤒 Fever or chills
😮‍💨 Cough
🗣️ Sore throat
💤 Body aches and fatigue

If your child has these symptoms, it’s important to keep them home to prevent the spread of germs. And if you need help, Tanner Urgent Care for Kids offers after-hours and weekend urgent care for children of all ages — from newborns to 18-year-olds. 💙

The best part? You can see your provider and pick up your prescriptions at the Tanner Pharmacy in the same building. That means no extra stops when your little one is already not feeling their best. View wait times or schedule an appointment ahead of time by visiting https://bit.ly/479Ib8R.

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!

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.
