Your Child Has A Fever

Sun, 15 Feb 2026 11:15:00 GMT

Seeing that high number on the thermometer is tough! ��️ A fever (over 100.4 degrees F) is just your child’s defense mechanism kicking in. Treat it with an over-the-counter fever-reducing medicine and remember this golden rule: They must be fever-free for 24 hours without medication before returning to school or daycare. �� Let's keep everyone healthy! https://spediatrics.com/is-your-child-sick/Fever #TemperatureCheck #Fever #KidsHealth #ParentTips

Hand Hygiene for Patients in Healthcare

Thu, 08 Jan 2026 07:42:22 GMT

Your hands can spread germs.

Hands contain beneficial bacteria that your body needs to stay healthy. Hands can also carry harmful germs that make you sick.

Alcohol-based hand sanitizer kills the most harmful germs that cause illness.

Alcohol-based hand sanitizers kill the good and bad germs, but the good germs quickly come back on your hands.

Alcohol-based hand sanitizer does not create antimicrobial-resistant germs.

Alcohol-based hand sanitizers kill germs quickly and in a different way than antibiotics.
Using alcohol-based hand sanitizers to clean your hands does not cause antimicrobial resistance.

When patients and visitors should clean their hands

Before preparing or eating food.
Before touching your eyes, nose, or mouth.
Before and after changing wound dressings or bandages.
After using the restroom.
After blowing your nose, coughing, or sneezing.
After touching hospital surfaces such as bed rails, bedside tables, doorknobs, remote controls, or the phone.

How to clean hands

With an alcohol-based hand sanitizer:

Place the product on your hands and rub them together.
Cover all surfaces until your hands feel dry.
This should take around 20 seconds.

With soap and water:

Wet your hands with warm water. Use liquid soap if possible. Apply a nickel- or quarter-sized amount of soap to your hands.
Rub your hands together until the soap forms a lather, then rub all over the backs of your hands, between your fingers, and the area around and under your fingernails.
Continue rubbing your hands for at least 15 seconds. Need a timer? Imagine singing the "Happy Birthday" song twice.
Rinse your hands well under running water.
Dry your hands using a paper towel if possible. Then use your paper towel to turn off the faucet and, if needed, open the door.
