- Ear InfectionsA NEGATIVE COVID TEST IS REQUIRED FOR ANY ONE OF THE ABOVE LISTED SYMPTOMS IN ORDER TO RETURN TO SCHOOL OR DAYCARE PER THE ILLINOIS DEPARTMENT OF PUBLIC HEALTH as even very mildly ill children can be positive and can shed virus for up to 10 days even if they have recovered from very brief symptoms. The child and family members should quarantine pending the test results which can take several days. A diagnosis of an ear infection or a positive test for flu or strep throat does NOT rule out Covid-19 as many patients have been found to have both infections at the same time. Covid-19 testing and quarantine are still needed even with these diagnoses. There will be VERY few children that can be sent back to school or daycare with an alternative diagnosis and no Covid-19 test. We understand this will be frustrating for families but the public health department feels this if the best way to keep our schools and daycares safe and open.

During a physical, our pediatricians at Lake Forest Pediatric Associates have the opportunity to monitor your child’s growth and development over the years. By staying up-to-date with your child’s physicals, you’ll be able to keep up with their vaccinations during their younger years, and can oversee any problematic health issues as they get older. Our practice provides physicals for an assortment of reasons, whether it’s the start of the new school year, or they’re prepping for the upcoming sports season.
- Labor and DeliveryInfants are born with the instinct to nurse and will naturally turn towards a mother’s nipple and open his or her mouth and begin sucking. It is important to note that the first two weeks of nursing can be more difficult than bottle feeding because of the time it takes for the baby and mother to become accustom to the breastfeeding process.

- Mental HealthAs we grow up, it is to be expected that we will face many challenges and obstacles in our lives. These occurrences help us to develop our emotions and emotional responses, which are strong influencers of our mental health. Some may struggle more than others to manage their emotions in a healthy way, but early intervention and counseling can help your child to develop appropriate coping mechanisms to handle their depression and/or anxiety.
