Illness

Let's spot and treat them!

Your child will probably have more colds, or upper respiratory infections than any other illness. Most children have at least 8-10 colds in the first two years of life. Colds are caused by viruses and can be spread directly by coughing and sneezing or indirectly by touching your nose or coughing into your hand and then touching a healthy person. Viruses and bacteria are two different causes of infection. Antibiotics kill bacteria, NOT viruses. The best treatment is supportive care. Colds may last up to 3 weeks and coughs may last even longer.

I've been bringing all 4 of my babies here since 2009. All the providers are so nice and are eager to answer all my questions during office visits for my children. I love that Dr Toland still comes to the hospital to check on his newborn patients when they're born.
