Welcome to SVP Online
Freeze warning tonight! Hard to believe it's really Spring.
Tylenol - read the label!!!
The changes announced last year have resulted in much confusion regarding the doseage of Acetaminophen. Unfortunately, not all manufacturers complied with the FDA suggestions. Multiple products exist in homes and on store shelves.
Manufacturers of Acetaminophen (Tylenol, Feverall, Triaminic Fever Reducer, and many other brands) announced recently very important information regarding doseage changes.
Look for the concentration on the label:
160 mg in 5 ml (1 teaspoon) is the new infant product (comes with syringe to measure.)
80mg in 0.8 ml is the old infant product (comes with a dropper to measure.)

Digital Children
It is important for your child to have balance between the real world and the digital one. They need to develop social, cognitive, and communication skills by interacting with people as well as technology. Try to limit 'screen' time.
Where have all the Toys gone?
You may have noticed that we have no toys in our waiting room. This is an effort to reduce the spread of germs during this cold and flu season. You may want to bring some favorite toys to keep your child occupied during his or her visit.
