SouthCoast Health pediatrician Dr. Micah Riegner and primary care physician Dr. Danielle Mankin joined WTOC to share their insights on this important stage of care.
They discussed factors such as patient comfort, readiness to talk about adult health concerns, and the benefits of continuity with a pediatrician until age 21. Savannah local Mason Riegner also offered his perspective as a young adult navigating this transition.
Children who do not drink enough water, especially when engaging in physical activities, could experience dehydration, heat exhaustion, or heatstroke. I
“The name of the game is hydration,” says Dr. Jenna Sirmans, a pediatrician with SouthCoast Health. “Youth athletes should begin hydrating at least an hour or two before practices or games. If you start hydrating while you’re at your practice or game, you’re already playing catch up in terms of maintaining your hydration. The American Academy of Pediatrics recommends school-aged children drink four to eight ounces of water every 20 minutes, and for adolescents about nine to 10 ounces of water every 20 minutes while participating in athletics.”
