When Your Child Is Sick, and the Nearest Pediatrician Is Miles Away
Getting quality pediatric care in rural Alaska has always taken more effort. Here's what families across the state need to know and how telemedicine is changing the equation. Your child woke up with a fever that won't budge, a sore throat, or an ear that's been bothering them for days. In Anchorage, you'd book a same-day visit. But if you're in Dillingham, Nome, or a community hours from the nearest clinic, that's not a simple call. Alaska is the largest state in the country by land and one...

Can a Doctor Diagnose My Child Over Video?
Telemedicine has changed the way Alaska families access pediatric care, and yes, a real diagnosis is possible. Here's what a video visit can treat, what to expect, and how to know when in-person care is the better call. It's 9pm on a Tuesday. Your child has been tugging at their ear all evening, the crying has picked up, and your gut says something's off. The last thing you want to do is load everyone into the car and drive to a clinic, but you also don't want to just wait it out. That's...

How Long Does Strep Throat Last in Kids?
Strep throat is one of the most common reasons parents bring their kids in for a same-day visit. Here's what to expect, how to tell it from a cold, and when a strep test makes sense. Your child woke up with a raw, angry sore throat and a fever, and it came on fast. No runny nose, no cough. Just pain and a temperature. Now you're wondering: is this strep, and if it is, how long are we looking at? It's a question parents ask a lot, especially during the school year, when strep makes its rounds...

My Child Has a Fever of 103°F — What Should I Do?
A high fever is one of the most stressful moments in parenting. Here's what that number actually means, what to watch for, and when it's time to seek same-day care. It's 1am. You put your hand on your child's forehead, and it's burning. You grab the thermometer: 103.2°F. Your stomach drops. Before you panic, take a breath. A fever of 103°F is uncomfortable and worrying, but for most children older than 3 months, it's not automatically dangerous. What matters most isn't the exact number; it's...

What to do when your toddler has a fever: A calm parent's guide
Fever in toddlers can be alarming, especially if it's your first time dealing with one. But in most cases, a fever is the body’s natural response to infection—and not something to panic about. Here's a calm, step-by-step guide to help you know what to do when your little one’s temperature starts to rise. Step 1: Understand What a Fever Is A fever is a body temperature above 100.4°F (38°C).
