Back to School

In this episode of Case Notes, Dr Mark Porter听reports on the latest approaches to dealing with the medical problems that commonly affect school age children.

Separation Anxiety
What do you do when a child cries and doesn't want to go to school?

Mark Porter looks at tips for how to cope with schoolchildren worried about starting school and returning to school.

Bedwetting

For some the stresses of the classroom and playground can lead to bedwetting.

About 1 in 7 children aged five, and 1 in 20 children aged ten, are bedwetters.

Mark Porter looks at the pros and cons of the different kinds of treatments on offer, including bed wetting alarms, drugs and psychological interventions.

Itchy and Scratchy

Skin infections such as impetigo or molluscum contagiosum can rapidly spread around a class of young children.

Impetigo is caused by infection with staphylococcal or streptococcal bacteria.

It's more common when there's a skin condition such as eczema, insect bites or scratches.

Nit-picking

Few primary school pupils avoid the head louse.

It's a grey-brown, six legged wingless insect, a few millimetres long, which feeds by sucking blood from the host's scalp.

Lice move easily from head to head.

Mark Porter finds out听the best methods of removing them.

Should parents use chemical preparations, tea tree oil or a special comb?

And he'll be asking when a child with a cold and a cough should be taken to the GP and what the family doctor might be offering the young patient, now that antibiotics are not given out as freely as they once were.

Stress Week

Tomorrow (Wednesday)听at 9pm on听Stressed Out Vivienne听Parry looks at the dramatic effects stress can have on our bodies. 听

In听Check Up on Thursday at 3pm, Barbara Myers answers listeners questions on stress.听听
