As parents and caregivers try to cope with the spread of flu, RSV and COVID-19 in what health experts are calling a 'tripledemic,' some may look online for treatment and prevention tips.
Here are tips from Bracho-Sanchez and Patel to help parents navigate the flood of health information online around flu, RSV and more.
Patel recommends always searching for the source of a social media video or post before taking in the information. For children over the age of 1, a small dose of honey, around one teaspoon, can help ease a child's cough, according to Patel and Bracho-Sanchez."When my daughter is sick, we make sure that she's still eating and drinking consistently, even if it's small amounts at a time," said Patel.
"There is no actual proven RSV cure," he said."We just have different forms of supportive care and treatment in some particular situations. There's nothing you can buy or make that is going to magically cure your child of RSV in one day."Both Patel and Bracho-Sanchez stressed the importance of parents knowing that what may have helped one child, may not necessarily be the most effective or safest treatment for their own child.
