We recognize how confusing and overwhelming the amount of conflicting information on social media and in the news can be. We remain committed to sharing evidence-based content and addressing misinformation as it arises.

Are there questions or topics you would like Dr. Horning to address?

🦠 Norovirus is going around.
We are seeing a rise of cases of this very contagious stomach virus, especially among young children.

What to watch for:
Sudden vomiting, diarrhea, stomach cramps, and low-grade fever.

It is important to make sure your child does not become dehydrated. Offer Gatorade, Pedialyte, or warm soda pop in small amounts every 20 minutes until they can keep liquids down. If they are unable to tolerate fluids, pause for 2 hours and then try again with small sips.

If your child has fewer wet diapers, no tears, or appears limp or lethargic, they may be dehydrated and should be seen in our office.

Please keep your child home until 48 hours after symptoms resolve, and encourage frequent handwashing with soap and water.

For answers to general medical questions and medication doses, please go to our webpage at www.flushingpediatrics.com

We’re here if you have concerns or need guidance.

We want to extend our sincere gratitude to Dr. Mukkamala for his recent assistance in addressing the issue of under reimbursement for the cost of vaccines for our office. His support and advocacy have made a meaningful difference, and we truly appreciate his commitment to working alongside physicians on these critical matters.
