About Children Health
Children's health, or pediatrics, focuses on the well being of children from conception through adolescence. It is vitally concerned with all aspects of children's growth and development and with the unique opportunity that each child has to achieve their full potential as a healthy adult.
About Flu Symptoms
The flu is contagious, and can spread around your school or work like a flame following a trail of gasoline. Recognizing the symptoms and staying home when you have the flu can go a long way toward stopping its spread. Symptoms include fever, aches, chills, nausea, dry coughs, runny nose and extreme tiredness.
About Flu
Influenza is common in the United States and around the world. In recent years, due to international travel, flu has become pandemic. It's a good idea to get a flu shot if you are in a high-risk group, which includes children and the elderly, among others.
