Marietta Pediatrician
Colds, flu, ear infections, stomach bugs — children often face a variety of common illnesses as they grow. While most are mild and manageable at home, it’s important for parents to know when to treat symptoms and when to seek help from a trusted Marietta pediatrician.
The Most Common Childhood Illnesses
At Sun Pediatrics, we frequently see children experiencing:
- Upper respiratory infections (colds and flu)
- Stomach viruses that cause vomiting or diarrhea
- Ear infections, often following a cold
- Strep throat and other bacterial infections
- Seasonal allergies and asthma flare-ups
These conditions are often part of a child’s immune development. Understanding their symptoms and treatment can ease worry and improve outcomes. 
When to See a Pediatrician
While home care is often sufficient, you should contact your pediatrician if:
- A fever lasts longer than 3 days
- Your child appears unusually lethargic or irritable
- Symptoms worsen after improving
- Dehydration signs appear (dry mouth, no tears, sunken eyes)
- Breathing difficulties, rash, or persistent pain develops
Early intervention can help prevent complications and keep your child comfortable.
