I am also seeing quite a few viral infections consisting of low grade fevers ( <102), aches and pains, headaches. Flu tests have been negative, but the kids are bouncing back within 3 – 4 days.

Watch me on WINK-TV’s CW 6 tomorrow morning for current pediatric topics and Q & A time. 7:40 am!

He is right. The ‘winter’ season has been so busy with sick children and families. I will make a concerted effort to try to update daily as to what’s going around.

This week has been full of:

pneumonia
strep throat
viral gastroenteritis – fancy terms for vomiting and diarrhea
pink eye
flu – only 3 cases this week

Click on the ‘Parent Advisor’ on the bottom right of the ‘home’ page for information on each topic.

Office is cranking up … I’ll be back later after office hours.

McNeil Consumer Healthcare, a division of McNeil-PPC, Inc., is voluntarily recalling, at the wholesale and retail levels, seven lots, approximately 574,000 bottles of infants’ TYLENOL Oral Suspension 1 oz, Grape, distributed nationwide in the United States.

McNeill received a small number of complaints from consumers who reported having difficulty using the infants’ TYLENOL SimpleMeasure dosing system enclosed in the product.

There is nothing wrong with the TYLENOL itself, just with the dosing vial.

See the link above for the official website and more information.
