Syracuse (WSYR-TV) -- The flu is going around again in a few communities around Central New York.
Let’s check in with local doctors, starting in Syracuse.
Syracuse: Brighton Hill Pediatrics says after a couple of months with very little flu, doctors there say they’ve seen a remarkable number of children with flu this week. There’s also a virus going around with a fever and pink eye.
Cicero: Dr. Terasaka is seeing pink eye. He says it’s from allergies or pollen and mold. He’s also seeing a cough with a cold that hangs on and can lead to sinus and ear infections. Children with asthma are reacting to the change in weather with flareups.
