It's going around: At hospital systems in Baltimore, doctors are fighting back against a flurry of flu and illnesses like it. "We've been seeing a lot of very rapid spread," said Dr. Megan Cobb, a pediatric emergency medicine physician at University of Maryland Golisano Children's Hospital, and an assistant professor at the University of Maryland School of Medicine. "This is a highly contagious flu strain that is causing a lot of sudden development of very high fevers, sometimes as high as 105, even 106." "They do respond to Tylenol and Motrin, but can be very challenging to control for families. A lot of GI symptoms, so vomiting, diarrhea, leading to dehydration, and children just otherwise feeling quite miserable and parents showing up accordingly because they're concerned," Cobb added. #LocalNews #maryland #fluseason #News
