Sick season is coming 🤧
Here’s what I like to keep on hand at home as both a mom and a holistic pediatric nurse practitioner.

From saline and nasal suction to fever/pain relief, hydration support, and a few of our favorite immune supports and wellness products, these are the things I reach for when managing little ones who aren’t feeling their best.

A few reminders:
✨ More supplements aren’t always better—age, dose, and individual needs matter.
✨ Use children’s medications according to weight, age, and product directions.
✨ Home care has its limits. Trouble breathing, dehydration, unusual sleepiness, or a baby under 3 months with a temperature of 100.4°F (38°C) or higher warrants prompt medical guidance.

🍂 Let’s talk about the fragrances in our homes. 🤎

I’ve been buying from Fontana Candle Co. and Scent Fill for YEARS, and these are two of my favorite brands for making our home smell amazing while being more intentional about the products we use.

🌿 Why does this matter to me?

Many conventional fragranced products release volatile organic compounds (VOCs) into indoor air. Certain fragrance ingredients have also raised concerns about hormone disruption, and some VOCs are known carcinogens. Fragrances can trigger headaches, respiratory irritation, or asthma symptoms in sensitive individuals.

With kids, I think reducing unnecessary exposures where we can is a worthwhile step. It’s not about fear or perfection—it’s about making more informed choices for our homes. 🤍

These are two brands I genuinely love and have purchased from for years:

🕯️ Fontana Candle Co. — Naturally scented beeswax candles made with beeswax, coconut oil, and essential oils, without synthetic fragrance. Their fall scents are SO good!🍁
Shop with my code RJAYROE for 15% OFF.

🌿 ScentFill — Plant-based 100% natural fragrance refills for plug-in warmers, made without parabens or phthalates. I love having seasonal scents throughout our home, and their return/exchange policy is a nice bonus if you try a scent that isn’t your favorite. I rotate through various scents by season!

Shop through my link:
https://scentfill.com/?referral_code=kJlrn8HnPP2z6XR

Both make lovely additions to your own low-tox home routine and thoughtful holiday gifts for anyone who loves a cozy, beautiful-smelling space. 🎁

Watching her sleep like this reminds me why we started this journey in the first place. 🥹

As both a mom and a pediatric nurse practitioner, I knew Amelia’s mouth breathing, snoring, restless sleep, nasal-sounding speech, deep bite, and gummy smile might all be connected. After learning more about pediatric airway health, we decided to move forward with a comprehensive evaluation.

Now, 6 months into treatment, we’re encouraged by the progress we’ve seen. Her snoring has improved, she’s sleeping more quietly, and we’re seeing positive changes in her oral development.

One thing I appreciate about the Toothpillow | Your Virtual Airway Dentists program is that it isn’t just an oral appliance. Treatment is individualized and includes guidance from airway-trained dental professionals, myofunctional exercises, progress tracking, and ongoing support through the app.

As a pediatric provider, one of my biggest takeaways has been this:

Mouth breathing IS NOT NORMAL.
It’s often a clue that a child’s airway and oral development deserve a closer look.

If your child has any of these signs, you may want to consider a FREE Toothpillow evaluation:
• Mouth breathing
• Snoring or noisy sleep
• Sleeping with their mouth open
• Crowded teeth or a narrow palate
• Chronic congestion
• Speech concerns
• Restless sleep
• Dark circles under the eyes
• Difficulty focusing or behavioral concerns

🎁 In addition to the free evaluation, you can use my code RJAYROE to receive a complimentary video consultation with a trained Airway Dentist (a $50 value) and $300 off treatment if recommended.

⬇️ Comment AIRWAY and I’ll send you the link to the free assessment.

✔️ Same/next-day availability

⭐️Sports Physicals now have their own dedicated booking option on my website, making scheduling even easier!

So your child says, “My ear hurts.”👂

It’s one of the most common reasons parents seek care—and it’s also one of the easiest symptoms to misdiagnose without actually looking inside the ear.

Ear pain can be caused by:
🔴 A middle ear infection (otitis media)
🔵 An outer ear infection/“Swimmer’s Ear (otitis externa)
🟡 Ear wax buildup

Each one looks different.
Each one is treated differently.

That’s why an ear exam matters.

Sometimes oral antibiotics are the right treatment.
Sometimes antibiotic ear drops are.
Sometimes no antibiotics are needed at all.

The goal isn’t just to treat ear pain—it’s to treat the right problem.

Need a digital otoscope camera? My favorite family-friendly options are linked in my Amazon Storefront.

If your child develops ear pain, I offer:
🏡 Same-day in-home visits in Collierville, Germantown, and throughout the Memphis area when possible.
💻 Virtual pediatric visits across Tennessee and Mississippi.

We’re now 4 months into Amelia’s Toothpillow | Your Virtual Airway Dentists journey, and I wanted to share an update on her progress!

We started the program because I was concerned about Amelia’s snoring, restless sleep, mouth breathing, nasal-sounding speech, gummy smile, and visibly deep bite.

Today, her symptoms are all improving, and we’re seeing encouraging changes in her dental and oral development 👏

What I’ve loved most is how SIMPLE the process has been.

As a busy mom and pediatric nurse practitioner, I knew several of Amelia’s symptoms might be connected, but I didn’t want to spend months trying to coordinate multiple appointments and piece everything together myself. 😵‍💫

Toothpillow combines an oral appliance, myofunctional exercises, progress tracking, and expert support into one streamlined program. Everything is guided through the app, making it incredibly easy to stay consistent.

No driving across town.
No juggling multiple providers.
No wondering what to do next.

Looking back, I wish I had known sooner that Amelia’s breathing, sleep, speech, and dental development concerns might all be connected. The earlier we recognize these patterns, the more opportunities we have to support healthy growth and development.

🔍 Some signs in kids that would make me want to explore further:
• Mouth breathing
• Snoring or noisy sleep
• Sleeping with the mouth open
• Crowded teeth or a narrow palate
• Speech concerns
• Chronic congestion
• Restless sleep or frequent waking
• Dark circles under the eyes
• Difficulty focusing or behavioral concerns

If you’d like to learn more, Toothpillow offers a FREE evaluation. 🎁 Use my code RJAYROE to upgrade to a free *video consultation with a trained Airway Dentist (a $50 value) and receive $200 off treatment if recommended.

Found a tick on your child? Take a deep breath.

I created this guide to help parents approach tick bites with confidence—taking concerns seriously without creating unnecessary fear.

Most tick bites do not result in illness, but knowing what to watch for can help you decide when it’s time to check in with your pediatric provider.

In this carousel, you’ll learn:
✔️ What to do immediately after finding a tick
✔️ When a tick bite may benefit from early evaluation
✔️ Which symptoms should prompt medical attention
✔️ How to identify the most common disease-carrying ticks in Tennessee

🌿 Optional bite-site support

Some families choose to use supportive measures such as a cold compress, calendula, drawing salve, or Ledum after a tick bite. While evidence is limited, these options may help soothe local irritation for some children. They are not a substitute for medical evaluation when concerning symptoms are present.

Save this post for future reference and share it with another parent—it may come in handy this summer. ☀️

❤️ Questions about a recent tick bite? We’re happy to help.

Skip the waiting room. Get thoughtful pediatric care from home.
