Fall Ideas 2024

1. Itchy eyes, runny noses and sneezing… fall allergies are here! For many children, ragweed is the most common trigger. Pollen levels typically peak in mid-September but can last through October, and these tiny particles can travel hundreds of miles in the wind. Another common fall allergy trigger is mold which often grows in damp, wet areas such as fallen leaves. Indoors, dust mites can also cause allergy symptoms for children who are sensitive. Talk to our doctors about the best ways to manage your child’s seasonal allergies.

2. The kids are back at school, the weather is getting cooler, and the leaves are beginning to change colors. Happy fall from all of us to you! To help your children enjoy the season safely, remember a few important tips. When outdoors, dress your children in bright-colored clothing to increase visibility. Check playground equipment for sharp edges, dangerous debris, and tripping hazards.

3. Brush up on proper handwashing skills to prevent the spread of germs, and make sure children are up to date on their vaccinations to keep them healthy this fall and winter. Promise Pediatrics will be happy to answer any questions you may have.
