73 - Asthma, croup, coughs, colds and more with paediatrician Dr Rob McLeod
Manage episode 421984285 series 3451095
When we think of winter, we often think of cost knits, hot chocolate... oh and those dreaded winter coughs and colds that seem to linger for months on end!
To unpack all things coughs and winter viruses we are joined by the wonderful Dr Rob McLeod. Dr. Rob is a Specialist General Paediatrician who lives in the Illawarra with his family. He works both publicly and privately in the hospital as well as offering telehealth appointments via Cub Care.
Rob is also the Co-Founder of Australia’s first allergen introduction product, Taste Bubs - which he started to make allergen introduction easier for parents from his own experience, to help reverse the trend of food allergies in Australia. Most importantly, Rob is a dad to two daughters, so not only is highly experienced from a professional perspective, but he is in the trenches with us too.
In this podcast we discuss
- RSV, influenza, parainfluenza and all the other viruses commonly seen in winter and whether it is important to know which one your child has
- Why respiratory viruses are more predominant in winter
- What is croup, as well as home treatment and red flags for additional support
- The difference between croup and asthma
- A doctor's thoughts on cough syrup
- Whether honey actually works and other home remedies
- Can we prevent our kids from getting sick?
- ... and so much more!
