Respiratory viruses, influenza, and RSV are among the illnesses being reported. Gastrointestinal illnesses, strep throat, and sore throats are also common. A medical director notes that vomiting-related illnesses with diarrhea are typical, and strep throat has been ongoing for months, presenting differently in children than adults.

Symptoms of strep throat in children can include abdominal pain, headache, and fever, particularly in those under 10 years old. COVID is also being seen, although flu and RSV are not currently present.

Further information on these illnesses and their symptoms is available from medical professionals, including pediatricians who are tracking the return of common fall viruses.
