Did you know that about 1 in 5 high school students report using e-cigarettes or va**ng products?

Va**ng and ni****ne use are serious health concerns for teens. Many va**ng products are not regulated and can contain harmful chemicals, including heavy metals and toxic flavorings.

Open, honest conversations about the risks of ni****ne, addiction, and lung health are essential. Encourage your teen to ask questions, and provide resources for quitting if they’ve already started. Modeling healthy behaviors at home also reinforces these messages.

The providers at Dover Pediatrics can support your teen in quitting ni****ne. Call today to schedule an appointment. 603-742-4048

The holiday season is a special time to spend with family, and we hope you enjoy these moments together.

Our office has adjusted hours over Christmas, but we are still available 24/7 for urgent needs through our after-hours line.

Please note that on Christmas Eve afternoon appointments will only be available for urgent needs. They will be booked next available and portal self-scheduling will be blocked to allow our staff to leave once all urgent visits have been seen.

Changes in routine like altered sleep schedules or meal times can increase stress and lead to crankiness or behavior changes.

Plan ahead by packing snacks, entertainment, and comfort items, maintain regular sleep routines as much as possible, and allow extra time for stops or delays. Bring along coloring books, puzzles, storybooks, or small travel games to keep kids engaged without screens during the trip.

Call our office or send us a portal message for advice on travel safety, motion sickness, or managing health needs while on the go. 603-742-4048.

An umbilical granuloma is a small, pink growth of tissue that can form at the belly button after the umbilical cord falls off. It may produce a little discharge but is usually painless.

Most granulomas are treated easily in the office using safe methods like silver nitrate.

If you notice a growth, persistent moisture, or redness at your baby’s belly button, call our office for evaluation and treatment.

We offer same day sick appointments for your convenience. 603-742-4048 or schedule through the patient portal.

Do you know how many hours per day your toddler should be sleeping?

Toddlers typically need about 11–14 hours of sleep per 24 hours, including naps. Most children between 1 and 2 years take 1–2 naps per day, while 3-year-olds often transition to a single nap or may skip naps entirely.

Consistent sleep routines help toddlers feel secure and well-rested. Establish a regular bedtime, calming pre-sleep activities, and a predictable nighttime routine.

Keep your toddler in their own sleep environment to encourage independent sleep, and if transitioning from a crib to a big kid bed, offer comfort items, use positive reinforcement, and allow time to adjust gradually.

Limit screen time before bed, keep the room dark and quiet, and offer a favorite stuffed animal for comfort.

Consistency is key for better sleep and overall mood.

Well rested toddlers = happy parents.

Call our office if your toddler struggles with sleep. Our team can provide personalized strategies that work for your family in order to help your child rest better.

If your child develops flu symptoms such as fever, cough, body aches, fatigue, or vomiting, keep them home from school and ensure they stay hydrated and get plenty of rest.

Antiviral medications may be prescribed in certain cases.

Watch for warning signs such as difficulty breathing, persistent high fever, or dehydration, which require prompt medical attention.

Children can return to school when they have been fever-free for at least 24 hours without medication and symptoms are improving. If needed, you can request a school excuse note, which can be sent directly to the school or uploaded to the patient portal for convenience.

Provider tip: To help ease the cough, Dr. Davie recommends 1 teaspoon of honey by mouth every 4 hours as needed. Remember, do not give honey if your child is less than 1 year of age.

Call our office for guidance on caring for your child, managing symptoms, or obtaining a school excuse.
