Strep throat
Ear infection
Gastroenteritis (stomach flu)

How to Determine If It’s Time to Visit the Doctor

- High or persistent fever that does not respond to medicine
- Dehydration
- Trouble breathing
- Lethargy or extreme fatigue
- Headache that doesn’t go away
- Persistent cough
- Disorientation
- Symptoms that don’t get better or worsen
