Night terrors in children can be downright scary for parents to witness. Unlike a nightmare, children typically don’t wake up from night terrors. During the episode, they may scream, shout, flail and kick, sit up in bed and appear terrorized. It is very difficult to wake, communicate with or console your child when this is happening.
When your child is sick, you want to do everything you can to make them feel better. Sometimes, antibiotics are the answer. Sometimes, however, they can cause more harm than good.

Oregon is now among a growing number of states that require face masks to be worn when inside public spaces. Providers at Eugene Pediatric Associates believe that requiring Oregonians to wear face masks is an important step in protecting kids and adults.
