🚨 Flu Season Alert 🚨

We’re seeing the flu spread like crazy right now, and many kids are coming in with high fevers, body aches, cough, and fatigue. The good news? There are steps you can take to help protect your family and support recovery.

🌡️ Fever & Pain Relief:
Tylenol (acetaminophen) and ibuprofen can help with fever and discomfort when dosed correctly. You can find safe, age- and weight-based dosing charts on our website to help guide you at primaryped.com

🦠 Tips for Fighting the Flu:
✔️ Wash hands often with soap and water
✔️ Keep kids home when sick to prevent spread
✔️ Encourage plenty of fluids and rest
✔️ Cover coughs and sneezes
✔️ Clean commonly touched surfaces daily

If your child has trouble breathing, isn’t drinking well, has a fever lasting more than a few days, or you’re worried for any reason—please give us a call. We’re here to help.
