CME Credit Link Coming Soon!
In this episode, we delve into the challenges faced by pediatric practitioners during the height of respiratory virus season. Host Holly Wayment is joined by Dr. Tess Barton, pediatric infectious disease specialist, to discuss RSV, influenza, pneumonia, Covid and more.
Dr. Barton talks about RSV vaccines, especially the recent FDA warning about Guillain-Barre syndrome, and clarifies that the warning does not pertain to the vaccine for infants. She provides valuable advice for clinicians handling inquiries from parents and pregnant women, emphasizing the rarity of severe vaccine side effects.
The discussion further explores the importance of distinguishing between viral and bacterial infections, the judicious use of antibiotics, and the body's natural responses to viruses, such as mucus production and fever.
