Advanced Pediatrics is reaching out to share an important need within our local high schools. There is currently a significant food deficit affecting students and families in our community, and we are committed to helping support those in need.

We will be collecting non-perishable food items and toiletries for high school food pantries in our area. Attached below is a list of the most urgently needed items. This will be an ongoing collection to support all local high schools throughout the year.

Your generosity can make a meaningful difference for students who rely on these resources. Any contribution, big or small, is greatly appreciated. Donations can be dropped off at the 2nd and 3rd floor front desk.

Thank you for your continued support and for helping us care for our community.

🎲 Online Gambling & Teens: Be Informed 💬

Online gambling is easier to access now than ever — from sports betting ads to gaming apps — and teens can be exposed without parents even realizing it. According to the American Academy of Pediatrics, this can normalize risky behavior, link excitement with betting, and contribute to stress, mood changes, and academic or social struggles.

Here’s how you can help:
• Talk openly about what they’re seeing online
• Discuss the real risks behind flashy ads
• Help them understand odds and money management
• Keep communication ongoing and judgement-free

If you’re worried about your teen’s behavior or emotional health, don’t hesitate to reach out — your pediatrician can support you in navigating these challenges. 💙

🤒 Fevers in Kids: What Parents Should Know 💙

A fever is usually a sign that your child’s body is fighting an illness. In children, a temperature above 100.4°F (38.0°C) is considered a fever.

What Causes Fevers

Fevers often happen with common infections like colds or stomach bugs — they’re not the illness itself, just the body’s way of responding.

How to Help Your Child Feel Better

💧 Fluids first: Fevers can make kids lose fluids faster, so offer water, diluted juice, or an oral rehydration drink to prevent dehydration.

👕 Dress light: Avoid bundling in heavy clothes — a single layer helps them stay comfortable.

💊 Medication if needed: Acetaminophen or ibuprofen can reduce fever and discomfort — but be sure to use the correct dose for your child’s age and weight. For infants under 2 years, talk with us or a pharmacist first.

❌ Avoid: Alcohol baths or cold sponging — these can be unsafe and aren’t recommended.

When to Contact a Medical Professional

Please call Advanced Pediatrics at 📞 703-938-5555 if your child has a fever and:

• Is younger than 3 months old with a temperature of 100.4°F or higher.
• Appears very sick, very drowsy, or unusually fussy.
• Has symptoms like stiff neck, severe headache, severe sore throat, rash, repeated vomiting or diarrhea, or signs of dehydration such as dry mouth or fewer wet diapers.
• Has had a seizure or a fever that repeatedly goes above 104°F.
• The fever lasts more than 24 hours in children under 2, or more than 72 hours in older kids.

A Note for Parents

Most fevers can be managed at home with rest, fluids, and comfort care. But you know your child best — if something doesn’t feel right, don’t hesitate to call. We’re here to help you every step of the way. 💛
