Measles and MMR vaccines are dominating the news, but what are the real risks of measles? What treatment options exist? IMA President & Chief Medical Officer Dr. Joseph Varon welcomes pediatricians and IMA Senior Fellows Dr. Elizabeth Mumper and Dr. Renata Moon. Together, the three doctors break down the true risks of measles.
Dr. Lawrence Palevsky explains that how a child acts and looks is a better indicator of a fever than numbers and he also explains some alternatives to Motrin to help treat high fevers.
Dr. Pierre Kory and Dr. Paul Marik both advise people to not get the flu shot and give an explanation as to why.
