Common Childhood Infections

  • Created in newborns_infants_and_toddlers
Most infections are caused by germs called viruses and bacteria. While you may be able to keep germs from spreading, you can't always keep your child from getting sick. It is important for parents to know how to keep their children healthy and what to do when they get sick. Read on to learn more from the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) about common childhood infections—signs and symptoms, treatments, and when to call your child's doctor.

    • "Dr. Morrison has been our pediatrician for 25 years. He is wonderful. He is knowledgeable, thorough, and has an excellent bedside manner. Dr. Morrison truly KNOWS his patients and remembers specifics about their health history. He takes the time to build a rapport with patients and their parents. My children are grown and my youngest (nearly 21) does not want to stop seeing him!"

    • "Dr. Salland has been my children’s pediatrician for 23 years. She’s extremely knowledgeable, compassionate and has a wonderful bedside manner. When I came to South Florida 23 years ago, I asked several parents who I should use as my children’s pediatrician and her name came up on several conversations. I’m So glad we picked her as our pediatrician."

    • "Reviewing a MD office is never easy. We started going to West Broward Pediatrics after we decided our original pediatrician was not the right fit anymore. We have seen all of the MDs in the practice at both the Weston and Plantation office. I love that they have Saturday hours, as well as an evening hour one day a week. The staff is always friendly and I have never had a hard time making an appointment when my daughter is sick. We went from a single MD practice to a multi MD office and I was afraid I wouldn't get to know the MD. We use the same MD for my daughter's yearly and then can see any of the MDs for sick visits. We are definitely happy we made the change."
