S04_E11 - Why Are Kids Always Sick?! Let's Talk About It.

If you have (or know) a kid, you've probably wondered: "How can such a tiny human catch so many illnesses?" And, "How is it humanly possible to create such an endless supply of snot?!"  Let's face it, kids are mini germ factories. From coughs to colds to ear infections, kids seem to pick up everything.  But which symptoms are just part of growing up, and which ones should actually worry you?

On Episode 11 of the show, we'll be joined by a repeat guest, pediatrician Dr. Krishnan Subrahmanian, to break down the most common childhood illnesses.  He'll help us get an understanding of what's normal, what's not, and how to handle those inevitable ailments like a pro.  This episode will be guest hosted by Meghan McCoy who will share with us her POV and experiences as an Ear, Nose Throat specialist as well.  Kids will always keep us guessing, but you can count on finding at least a few answers here.  Join us!
