The staff at POD looks forward to Spring Break every year. In years past, this generally marks the end to the cold and flu season! (We’re not so sure this year.) But with half the doctors out of town, it was time for the staff to have some fun!

If you were here for a visit, you might have seen a super hero, a Disney character or two, and a hula hoop contest. With the relaxed atmosphere, it was a much needed break for the staff.

Strep throat is the common term for streptococcal pharyngitis. Pharyngitis means an inflammation or infection of the throat. Strep refers to the causative bacteria – group A streptococcus. The group A Streptococcus bacteria can also cause skin infections. Interestingly, there are other types of strep bacteria but only group A causes throat infections.

Safe Sleep & Healthy Swaddling by Dr. Hillary Lewis

Swaddling is well described as a soothing technique to calm your child and promote better sleep. Because newborns have an immature nervous system with active startle reflexes, swaddling prevents infants from frequent awakenings during sleep, thus lengthening their naps and nighttime sleep.

Bugged by Bug Bites?

Most insect bites usually cause a small red bump and begin to disappear the next day. Often times, it may look like localized hives, one large or several small ones. The red bump is the body's allergic reaction to the venom injected by the insect. For itchy insect bites, apply calamine or a 1% hydrocortisone cream. If the bite is extremely itchy, try an oral antihistamine, like Benadryl.
