What Your Pediatrician Wishes You Knew….

Doctor“Quick Fixes” Unfortunately Do Not Exist

Most pediatric illnesses are viral and get better with time. Pediatricians are happy to see kids who are sick, but get frustrated when parents demand a "quick fix" when, in reality, there isn't one.

We should use antibiotics very, very judiciously. They need to work when they are indicated, and if given too liberally, they will not work as effectively when your child does in fact have a bacterial infection.

That’s it for today!
