wasn't stress-inducing enough, it's also allergy season.
"Now is the time of year when seasonal allergies are on the rise," board-certified pediatrician Dr. Natasha Burgert told POPSUGAR."This allergy season is causing more anxiety, however, because some common allergy symptoms overlap with symptoms of COVID-19." Thus, distinguishing allergies from a viral illness — COVID-19 or otherwise — is critical for optimal management and care of our little ones.Viral symptoms, Burgert pointed out, cause things like the sudden onset of fever, extreme fatigue, aches and pains, cough, decreased eating, vomiting and diarrhea, and trouble sleeping."These are all signs of a viral illness, including the novel coronavirus," Burgert said.
"In short, allergy kids look uncomfortable, but they don't appear sick," she said."To help your child feel better, you should feel comfortable and confident using simple modifications at home and over-the-counter medications.":"This medication is safe and effective for symptom control, does not cause drowsiness, and lasts through an entire day of outside play.
