Listen to Alfin Vicencio, MD, and Alyssa Hackett, MD, discuss pediatric care at Mount Sinai during COVID-19, and what parents should know about health management for their kids. Dr. Vicencio observes that routine care for children isn’t just colds and accidents—it’s care during rapidly changing stages of development. Vaccinations and monitoring growth are important. And for children with asthma, monitoring fluctuations in symptoms due to seasonal changes can prevent trips to the emergency room. Dr. Hackett discusses the risks of delaying ENT care during this time; while it was appropriate to delay getting care during the height of the outbreak, now is the time to address children’s health concerns.
