Episode 4: Flu A & Flu B in Kids — Symptoms, Treatment, and Prevention

In this episode of Pediatric Flow with Jolene, Dr. Jolene, Pediatric Nurse Practitioner, breaks down everything parents, caregivers, and students need to know about influenza in children.

We talk about:

• The difference between Flu A & Flu B

• Common symptoms in infants, toddlers, and older kids

• When to worry — and when to call your pediatrician or NP

• The role of Tamiflu and who benefits most

• Safe fever management (Tylenol, ibuprofen, what to avoid)

• Why honey should never be given under age 1

• Over-the-counter cold medicine guidance

• How long the flu typically lasts

• Prevention and wellness strategies to keep families safe this season

My goal is simple: keep littles safe, empower families, and help you feel confident navigating flu season.

So until next time… keep shining.
