Pediatric Wizards The Magic of Caring!!! There are two separate waiting rooms to accommodate both sick and well children.

Dr. Helft has been caring for the children of Brevard County for almost twenty years and has built a well-respected pediatric practice known as Pediatric Wizards. As part of his commitment to children, Dr. Helft has taken part in a medical mission trip to Nicaragua and takes great pride in caring for the children of our military service members. His bright, fun, kid-centered office, located at 1310 West Eau Gallie Boulevard in Melbourne, starts with a yellow brick road leading to a Medieval Castle at the front desk. A sleeping dragon in the hallway leads the children to four exam rooms, each with a different theme to make patients of all ages feel comfortable. Parents love to see photos of their children posted on the walls, along with lots of sports memorabilia as Dr. Helft is a huge sports fan. Both healthy and sick children get excited to visit The Wizard and his Castle. The office has recently decided to open its Castle doors and accept new patients (so long as the family is willing to vaccinate, even using a modified schedule). Patients are accepted on an individual basis so that the practitioner sees no more than an average of thirty patients per day. Dr. Helft strongly believes in quality over quantity, and therefore believes that seeing a higher volume of patients (as most other pediatric practices do) would compromise the quality of care provided. He also realizes that waiting for long periods of time is unacceptable to busy parents and that patients should never be treated like a number. The office strives to make every family feel special and have their children receive the care and attention that they deserve. The Pediatric Wizards’ motto is “The Magic of Caring”, and every staff member is held to high standards to ensure each family and child is treated with respect, compassion, and the best medical care possible. To get a sense of why Dr. Helft and the staff of Pediatric Wizards are so beloved and respected in the community, check out the comments on their page, or visit their website at www.pediatricwizards.com.

🍬 A LITTLE CANDY, A LOT OF SMILES! 🪄

Halloween candy doesn’t have to be scary… at least not for your little one’s teeth! 👻🦷

With trick-or-treating right around the corner, our Pediatric Wizards are sharing a little magic to help keep those smiles healthy!

✨ 5 Wizard-Approved Halloween Candy Tips:

🍫 Choose wisely! Chocolate is generally easier to wash away than sticky, chewy candies.

🍽️ Timing is everything! Enjoy sweet treats after meals instead of snacking on candy all day.

💧 Water works wonders! Drinking water after candy helps rinse away leftover sugar and food particles.

🍬 Avoid the all-day sugar rush! Frequent snacking means more opportunities for cavity-causing bacteria to do their damage.

🪥 Brush away the sugar monsters! Brush twice daily for two minutes with fluoride toothpaste, especially before bedtime!

💜 Remember, the magic isn’t in skipping every treat… it’s in creating healthy habits that last a lifetime!

🎃 PARENTS, WE WANT TO KNOW! What’s the ONE Halloween candy you secretly hope your kids bring home? 👀🍫

🚨 When you hear about a national holiday that HR definitely did NOT approve. 👀😂

Suddenly, everyone at Pediatric Wizards is checking the calendar. 📅🤣

Don’t worry, we’re keeping our hands to ourselves… but the side-eye is FREE! 💀🪄

Happy Funny Friday!

That cough again… should I call?

A cough from a cold can linger for 2–3 weeks. Watch how your child is breathing, drinking, and acting—not just how the cough sounds.

📞 Call our office if:
• The cough is worsening or lasts more than 3 weeks.
• Your baby is under 6 months and has a cough—contact us within 24 hours.
• Fever lasts more than 24 hours in a child under 2, or more than 3 days in a child age 2 or older.
• Fever returns after being gone for more than 24 hours.
• Coughing causes repeated vomiting or interferes with daily activities.

🚩 Don’t wait for the time limits above if your child has concerning symptoms:
• Seek medical care right away for fast breathing, wheezing, or a harsh sound when breathing in.
• A baby under 3 months with a temperature of 100.4°F or higher needs immediate medical attention.
• Go to the ER now if ribs pull inward with each breath or your child is not alert when awake.
• Call 911 for severe trouble breathing, stopped breathing, or blue lips or face.

For comfort, offer age-appropriate fluids and saline for nasal congestion. Honey may help children age 1 and older—never give honey to a baby under 1. OTC cough/cold medicines are not recommended under age 4; ages 4–6 should use them only with a doctor’s recommendation.

Unsure? Give us a call. Please don’t use comments or DMs for urgent medical concerns. 🪄

Save this for the next time those sniffles turn into a cough!

The socks might not match perfectly—but that proud little smile? Priceless. 🧦💜

Helping at home can start with something small:

🧸 Putting toys in a basket
🍽️ Setting napkins on the table
🧦 Matching socks together
🌱 Helping water a plant
📚 Returning books to a shelf

Choose a task that fits your child’s abilities, show them how, and help as needed. There’s no rush to do it independently!

Try saying, “Thank you for helping! We did that together.” 🪄

It’s officially cold & flu season, and apparently personal space is OPTIONAL. 🤧🤣

Every sibling has a breaking point… and this one has officially reached hers! 😂

🪄 Wizard Tip: Cover those coughs and sneezes with your elbow, wash those little hands, and let’s keep those germs to ourselves!
