Pediatrics
I got into pediatrics because kids heal well! It’s also gratifying to teach kids how to lead a healthy lifestyle.
Strep throat often has quick onset of a sore throat with difficulty and pain with swallowing, higher fevers and often, swollen tonsils and lymph nodes in the neck.
The next time you bring in your child for her well visit, don’t be surprised if the doctor mentions checking her cholesterol. While cholesterol checks are normally associated with adults, the American Academy of Pediatrics now recommends tweens, teens and young adults between the ages of 11 and 21 get tested, too. The leading reason for the change is the rising rate of obesity among young Americans and the associated health problems.
When it comes to puberty, what’s “normal” is a big topic of discussion and concern for both children and their parents. There is a range of normal variation with some children beginning, progressing and advancing through puberty sooner than others. Puberty normally tends to start between ages 9 and 13.
OK kids; as we enter into a colder season, remember that “sharing” with classmates can be good sometimes but not others.
