Do your kids have a cough, fever or sore throat?   The Savvy Sassy Doctor is IN.

Well okay, the actual doctor is pediatrician Zak Zarbock, M.D., one of the country’s top pediatricians and the Founder and President of Zarbee’s, the fastest-growing children’s cough and cold brand in the country. Zarbee’s is made from antioxidant-rich buckwheat honey, which clinical trials have shown to be the safest and most effective treatment for relieving coughs in children.

The 4 Most Common Spring and Summer Cold Viruses

Parainfluenza Virus –  The parainfluenza virus is spread by droplet and airborne secretions. It typically infects the nose or throat and spreads to the area around the vocal cords. The most common age for croup is six months to three years, but it can affect children as old as six years of age. Home treatment consists of a cool mist humidifier, breathing in the cold air outside or from a freezer, or the use of a steam shower.  Younger children tend to have the classic barking cough that is much worse at night, while older children and adults may experience more hoarseness.

Adenovirus –   This one can cause many symptoms but are often known for causing high fevers in children. Additionally, runny nose, sore throat, red eyes, pneumonias, and even vomiting and diarrhea may be seen with these viruses.   Adenovirus is highly contagious and may be readily spread by close contact in places like summer camps, schools, childcare centers and hospitals. Transmission of adenovirus can occur via airborne secretions (i.e. coughing or sneezing), the fecal-oral route (i.e. not washing hands after using the restroom) and by contact with contaminated surfaces like toys, furniture and hands.

Parvovirus  –  Fifth disease is caused by infection with human parvovirus B19.The illness is characterized by a rash on the cheeks, giving the characteristic “slapped-cheek” appearance and occurs most commonly in children.  The ill child may also have a lacy red rash on the trunk and limbs, a low-grade fever, cold symptoms, or general discomfort for a few days before the rash breaks out.

Enterovirus–   Another family of viruses that include the polioviruses, coxsackieviruses, echoviruses, and several others. These viruses are widespread and second only to the “common cold” viruses, the rhinoviruses, as the most common viral infections in humans.  Infected persons who become ill usually develop mild upper respiratory symptoms (a “summer cold”), a flu-like illness with fever and muscle aches or a rash. Coxsackie viruses are responsible for hand, foot, and mouth disease as well as herpangina, both of which may result in a sore throat and sores in the mouth. Less commonly, some children may contract viral meningitis or, rarely, a person may develop an illness that affects the heart (myocarditis) or the brain (encephalitis).
