@dr_mikem: After 30 years in pediatrics, here’s where I’ve stopped spending my energy this cold and flu season, so you can stop stressing too. A low-grade fever that’s doing its job? Not worried. A kid who keep skips dinner for a day because they’re congested? Fine. The color of the mucus? Couldn’t care less. #pediatrician #coldandfluseason #parenting #drmichaelmilobsky
Urgent care PA here, wish I can play this video on repeat in the waiting room

Interesting because I literally feel phlegmy after milk or ice cream

I’m feeling stressed because I can’t seem to book a flu shot for my 14 month old until November 12- is that just too late in the season? I think it just became available a few days ago in my area but booked up so fast

Seems like the hardest part is getting them to drink when sick.

As a parent, I refuse to take my kids to the dr for normal viruses. the school is constantly asking for the dr notes and im like... no?? why tf would I waste my and their time when if you give it a couple days they'll be fine and back at school? I cant stand leaving the house when the kids just need rest and fluids and time 🙃 im not dragging cranky sick kids to the dr unless it's actually an issue

I would disagree with treat for comfort not number. As I was doing this and my son had a febrile seizure because he had a fever spike.

“Milk does not increase mucous production” bro what. I actually follow you so if you can revise that obviously false scientific statement that’d be great😁 all dairy products produce mucous

My mom said that if we drank milk when we had fever it would curd in my stomach and I would throw up lol. Don’t know if this is true but I don’t give my toddler milk when they have fever I just do pedialyte instead

When i found out pedialyte made ice pops, it was a game changer. I can hardly get my toddler to drink anything when she’s healthy but that kid will down ice pops no matter what 😂

I always battle with when to give Motrin/tylenol during a fever because I know fevers are doing their job against illnesses. Last week my son had 103 and was sleeping on the couch so I guess I would call him comfortable..would you still have given him meds?

Treat a fever for comfort but what if you have boys that will go until they end up within hours in the ER on high flow oxygen and end up flown to a pediatric ICU 🙃 my boys will go go go and it’s hard to tell
