So many families are dealing with colds right now! Most kids with a cold will recover on their own with some extra rest and fluids and do not need to be seen by a doctor. But some kids might need to be seen by their pediatrician. Here’s when to call your pediatrician if your child has a cold. And remember, babies 3 months and younger with cold symptoms should always be seen right away by their pediatrician.

This past week our staff took on a very serious assignment: sampling and voting on our favorite OREO cookie flavors!
WOW… OREO has some seriously unique flavors out there!
The flavor that seemed to intrigue our PCN staff the most? Chicken & Waffles! But when it came down to our favorites, Lemon and Deep Fried Oreos tied for the top spot!
Now we want to know…
