Fall Illnesses in Children: When to Call Us at Bay Street Pediatrics
As children return to school, daycare, sports, and after-school activities, fall also brings an increase in common childhood illnesses. For many Connecticut families, September marks the beginning of another season of runny noses, coughs, sore throats, fevers, and stomach bugs.
Most fall illnesses in children are caused by viruses and get better with rest, fluids, and time. But as a parent, it can be difficult to know when your child’s symptoms are something you can manage at home and when you should call us at Bay Street Pediatrics.
At Bay Street Pediatrics in Westport, Connecticut, we want families to feel confident knowing what to watch for and when to reach out for medical advice.
