School Bugs Back This Fall | Baton Rouge News
Description
School’s back, and so are the bugs — pediatricians are sounding the alarm on a surge of germs including flu, stomach viruses, strep throat, and enterovirus. Kids traveling for holidays or fun bring home new infections, especially if immunity is low. Watch for sore throats, high fevers (especially over 103 in kids under three), and rashes like impetigo. Strep requires full antibiotic courses to prevent complications, and handwashing is your best defense. When in doubt? Call your pediatrician — they’ve got you covered.
