We are seeing a good number of cases of influenza. Schools also report increasing numbers of absences due to influenza. It is not too late to get your influenza vaccine. The only treatment we have for the flu is fluids and fever control. Tamiflu is recommended for severe cases. Please remember you can connect with us through Anytime Pediatrics telehealth app and pingMD. Best wishes for happy (and healthy) holidays. Hopefully 2 weeks of vacation from school will stop the spread.
