Since it is always Dengue season along with Flu and Covid, here are the AAP recommended insect repellants for children.

Source: www.healthychildren.org

In the Philippines, where we fight Dengue all year round, it is important to know what insect repellant to use.

'DEET is a chemical used in insect repellents. The amount of DEET may range from less than 10% to more than 30%. DEET greater than 30% doesn’t offer any additional protection.

Studies show that products with higher amounts of DEET protect people longer. For example, products with amounts around 10% may repel pests for about 2 hours, while products with amounts of about 24% last an average of 5 hours. But studies also show that products with amounts of DEET greater than 30% don’t offer any extra protection.

The AAP recommends that repellents should contain no more than 30% DEET when used on children. Insect repellents also are not recommended for children younger th​an 2 months.'

'All children and teens should receive the COVID-19 vaccine as soon as they are eligible to prevent SARS-C0V-2 infection. Talk to your pediatrician to make certain they stay up to date. If your child tests positive for COVID-19, your pediatrician can discuss your questions and concerns including ways to help your child return safely to their normal activities.'

Post-COVID Conditions in Children and Teens Children can develop a number of secondary conditions after having COVID. Learn more about symptoms to watch out for. Your pediatrician can help guide your child’s safe return-to-activities such as sports, school, camp, jobs, and volunteer activities.

As the surge hit so many families, some brands of medications are said to be out of stock, but did you know that there are alternative ways you can treat fever as well.

Treating a Fever Without Medicine Fevers generally do not need to be treated with medication unless your child is uncomfortable or has a history of febrile convulsions. When your child has a fever and seems to be quite bothered or uncomfortable by it, you may treat it with the following approaches.

'Because some of the symptoms of flu, COVID-19 and other respiratory illnesses are similar, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) recommends testing to confirm a diagnosis. People can be infected with both flu and the virus that causes COVID-19 at the same time and have symptoms of both influenza and COVID-19.'

If your child has fever, cough, colds, vomiting, diarrhea or sore thorat, please make sure to consult your pediatrician, isolate and get them tested right away. Stay safe, everyone.

'The concentration of DEET in a product indicates how long the product will be effective—a higher concentration works for a longer time. For example, 10% DEET provides protection for about 2 hours, and 30% DEET protects for about 5 hours. Concentrations of more than 50% DEET provide no added protection. You can choose the lowest concentration to provide protection for the among of time spent outside. For example, if you plan to be outside for one hour, you can choose 10% DEET.

When used on children, insect repellents should contain no more than 30% DEET. Insect repellents are not recommended for children younger th an 2 months of age.'
