NPR: Your kids are adorable germ vectors. Here's how often they get your household sick


Every parent experiences it, the constant cycle of the sniffles. If your child isn't sick this week, they may be sick next week. Recently broadcasted on NPR, Maria Godoy spoke with Rachel Pearson, MD, about how children are usually the source for germs and getting a household sick.

Listen in on NPR's website to hear the discussion on why this year was tougher on little kids versus the past couple of years and how the amount of kids you have can correlate with how often your household is under the weather.

Help your little one bounce back if they are sick by making an appointment with a UT Health San Antonio pediatrician.
