HEALTH NEWS

  • Allergy season has started and many kids are experiencing sneezes, watery eyes, and runny noses. Pediatrician Dr. Megan Yanny of UW Health Kids advises parents to treat symptoms with second-generation antihistamines (non-drowsy), nasal sprays, and eye drops while also managing indoor allergens and bathing routines, and parents should see a doctor if the symptoms worsen or if asthma or eczema is triggered.  WBAY
