March is National Colorectal Cancer Awareness Month, and we are wearing blue to raise awareness and show our support against this disease 💙.
Colorectal cancer is the third most common cancer and rates are rising in adults under 50 (parents, that’s you). Thankfully, colorectal cancer is highly preventable with early screening and treatable with early detection. At Phillips Pediatrics, we partner with parents, and today, we urge you to take care of yourselves. Your health is the greatest gift you can give your children. 🎁

✨ Did you know? Screenings should start at age 45 for most adults, or earlier if you have a family history. Colonoscopy is the best screening because precancerous polyps can be removed during the procedure, preventing cancer 👊. Cologuard is an option for non-invasive screenings with a simple stool test. This test helps with early detection but does not pickup all polyps.

💩 Don't ignore symptoms like changes in bowel habits, bloody stool, abdominal pain, or unexpected weight loss. Our patients should see us for any of these symptoms, especially for bloody stool or weight loss. Living a healthy lifestyle with diet and exercise can help prevent some colorectal cancers. Routine checkups with us can help keep your family on track with overall wellness. Screening remains the gold standard for colorectal cancer prevention and early detection.

Hi, LOU families! 👋 It’s Dr. Catherine Phillips.
I opened Phillips Pediatrics to bring a little something extra to healthcare. With 15+ years of experience and a "mom-first" heart, I treat every patient like my own (Patrick and Margaret!).
Whether we’re navigating breastfeeding hurdles (I’m a Certified Lactation Counselor! 🍼), managing complex conditions like Autism 🧩, or just getting through the toddler or teen years, I’m here to partner with you.
When I’m not in the exam room, you’ll find me playing mahjong with my neighborhood girls, walking my King Charles Cavalier, Minnie, tumbling with my Wink star, Margaret, or cheering on my Canes baseball player, Patrick ⚾️๋࣭
We can’t wait to grow with your family. 🎈🏥✨👇 Grow with us!

This Spring weather is amazing, but the tree pollen has my little one flared up. If your child is dealing with a runny nose, congestion, itchy eyes, or a persistent cough, you’re not alone. Many children experience these common allergy symptoms during this time of year, and it’s important to manage them early to help your child stay comfortable. Spring allergy symptoms typically develop between 2-5 years of age and can worsen over time. Here are some tips to help alleviate symptoms:

1. Keep Doors and Windows Closed to reduce your child’s exposure to pollen that sneaks in.

2. Bath time and Clean Clothes
Pollen sticks to hair, skin, and clothing. After your child spends time outdoors, make sure they wash up and change into clean clothes, especially before bed, to avoid transferring allergens to bedding and causing nighttime reactions.

3. Use Nasal Saline and Steroid Sprays
Saline rinses help clear pollen from the nasal passages. Nasal steroid sprays, such as Flonase, may be prescribed once daily after the saline to reduce inflammation and control symptoms. These medications are first line of defense for Spring Allergies.

4. Daily Antihistamines
Long-acting antihistamines like Zyrtec, Allegra, Claritin, or Xyzal are often prescribed daily to manage allergy symptoms. These medications are less sedating than older options like Benadryl. For breakthrough symptoms, Benadryl can help provide additional relief.

5. Eye Relief for Allergies
For itchy, red, or watery eyes, cold compresses and artificial tears can provide relief. If your child needs more help, ask your pediatrician about prescription eye drops like Pataday (Olopatadine).

6. Don’t Skip Medications
If your child has asthma or more severe allergy symptoms, it’s important not to skip prescribed allergy medications. Consistency is key to preventing flare-ups and keeping symptoms under control. If you’re running low on medication or need a refill, don’t hesitate to reach out to us.

We’re Here to Help
Pollen season can be tough, but with the right approach, your child can feel better and enjoy the spring season. We are available to see your child Monday through Friday 8am-4pm by appointment for chronic issues or by walk-in for acute flare-ups. Schedule on your portal at www.phillipspediatricsoxford.com
