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. ❤️

Is your back-to-school checklist complete? 📚✏️

Between shopping for supplies, preparing lunches, and getting back into a routine, it's easy to overlook a few important health-related tasks before the first day of school.

As you prepare for a successful school year, don't forget to:
✔ Schedule school or sports physicals early
✔ Review immunization records and required health forms
✔ Update any medication or action plans needed for school
✔ Pack a simple health kit for your child's backpack

School physicals are a great opportunity to review your child's overall health, discuss nutrition and physical activity, address concerns such as allergies or asthma, and help ensure they're ready for the classroom, the field, or the stage.

AFC is here to help with convenient walk-in care, school physicals, sports physicals, and more to help your child start the school year healthy, confident, and ready to learn.

Here's to a great school year ahead! 🍎

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.
