Not every childhood illness is as familiar as the flu or a common cold.

During the summer and back-to-school season, parents may encounter lesser-known pediatric conditions like impetigo, Fifth disease, hand, foot, and mouth disease, and coxsackievirus infections. While these illnesses are often common among children, they can cause uncomfortable symptoms and may require medical evaluation.

Keep an eye out for signs such as:
🩹 Unusual rashes or skin sores
🌡️ Fever
😷 Sore throat
👋 Painful blisters on the hands, feet, or inside the mouth
😴 Fatigue or general discomfort

If your child develops symptoms that have you concerned, AFC is here to help with convenient walk-in care for children and families. Our team can evaluate symptoms, provide treatment recommendations, and help your child get back to feeling their best.

Because when it comes to your child's health, peace of mind matters. ❤️

Back-to-school season means more time in classrooms, on sports teams, and for many families, lingering days at the pool. Unfortunately, it can also mean an increase in ear infections.👂

Whether it's a middle ear infection that follows a cold or flu-like illness, or swimmer's ear caused by trapped moisture in the ear canal, ear pain can quickly disrupt your child's school, sleep, and activities.

Common signs to watch for include:
👂 Ear pain or discomfort
🤒 Fever
😣 Irritability or trouble sleeping
🔊 Difficulty hearing
🏊 Pain that worsens when the outer ear is touched

If your child develops ear pain or other concerning symptoms, AFC is here to help with convenient walk-in care 7 days a week. Our team can evaluate ear infections, provide treatment recommendations, and help your child get back to learning, playing, and enjoying the school year.

POV: The salad was not, in fact, looking out for your health. 🥗

If you've seen recent headlines about Cyclospora outbreaks in the U.S. and are suddenly side-eyeing your lunch, you're not alone.

Cyclospora is a parasite that can cause a foodborne illness called cyclosporiasis, often linked to contaminated fresh produce. Symptoms may include:
Nausea
Frequent diarrhea
Stomach cramps
Fatigue
Low-grade fever

The tricky part? Symptoms may not show up until several days, or over a week, after exposure.

The good news: cyclosporiasis is treatable, and you don't have to spend hours searching your symptoms online trying to figure out what's going on.

If you're experiencing persistent gastrointestinal symptoms, AFC can evaluate your condition, help determine the cause, and recommend appropriate treatment so you can get back to feeling like yourself again.
