School has been back in session for some time now, but it’s not too late for you to schedule your child’s back-to-school checkup with their pediatrician!
As we are still in the midst of a pandemic, it’s more important than ever to focus on prioritizing your personal health and that of your children. It’s especially important now in the early phases of the school year—it’s critical to set your children up for a happy and healthy school year for the months that lie ahead of them.
Fall is a big time for allergies as the leaves start to drop and the winds blow around dust and pollens. Children who suffer from allergies or respiratory conditions benefit from having those symptoms examined by a doctor near the start of the school year.
We’re also just about to enter flu season, which means you can schedule your child’s flu shot to coincide with their checkup. The flu shot is one of the best tools available to prevent colds and flu throughout the fall and winter. As the weather gets colder, children will be spending more time inside, and schools can quickly become massive breeding grounds for germs and viruses. Stay proactive by getting the flu shot and by taking other preventative measures to keep your children healthy all year long.
In addition to scheduling an appointment and getting the flu shot, here are some other steps your kids can take to ensure their health all through the school year:
