Whether it’s at the beach, on a mountain trail, at a local park, or in your own backyard, summer is a great time for families to have fun in the sun. However, if not properly prepared for outdoor adventures, a fun-filled day can quickly take a turn for the worse.

In this month’s installment of Prisma Health On Call, we’re connecting readers to Prisma Health pediatricians who are here, on call, ready to answer your questions regarding your kids’ health and safety while playing outside this summer.

Think:

❓ How often should I apply sunscreen to my child?
❓ How do I know if my child is overheating?
❓ What should I do if my child gets a bug bite or sting?
❓ What are some things I can do to ensure my child’s safety at a swimming pool?

What are your summertime health and safety questions? Submit your questions below and we’ll share the physicians’ answers in the next few weeks.
