A summertime virus is making the rounds. Doctor Steven Sindelar in Bellevue says Enterovirus comes with a high fever, 102 or 103 degrees for four to five days.

Children may be grouchy or develop a rash on the stomach, back, and chest. In some cases the virus can cause mild diarrhea. Control the fever with Tylenol or Motrin. Infants with a high fever should see a doctor to rule out other infections.

With the Fourth of July this weekend, Doctor Carey Ertz in Papillion has safety suggestions.

Store fireworks out of reach. Always keep a bucket of water handy. Children under 12 should not use sparklers without very close adult supervision. Only light one sparkler at a time. Make sure kids wear closed toe shoes to avoid burns from sparks. Have kids remain standing and hold the sparkler away from the body at arm's length. 16 percent of all fireworks injuries are from sparklers. Most are burns or eye injuries to young children.

In Northwest Omaha, a reminder from Doctor Reema Nasr about scheduling school physicals now.

Doctor Amy Lacroix in Midtown says there's no summer break when it comes to asthma medicine. She has seen a few patients suffer from asthma flare-ups.

In the summer when children are busy and active, it is easy for them to forget to take their daily medication. If that happens and they're exposed to a trigger, their asthma can overcome them and lead to a crisis.

In Southwest Omaha, Doctor Robert Beer is seeing heat exhaustion cases start to pop up.

Sweating, fatigue, and weakness are usually accompanied by muscle aches, dizziness, headache, and nausea.

Have children rest in a cool place and drink plenty of non-caffeinated liquids. Over the counter pain relievers are okay for headache or
muscle aches. See a doctor for more serious symptoms.

Preventative measures are key. Plan outdoor activities for early in the morning or the evening, dress children in light, loose fitting clothes, and make sure they have something to drink before they feel thirsty.
