Syracuse (WSYR-TV) - There's no sign the flu is letting up at all, and the doctors we check in with this week say they're still overwhelmed by patients with H1N1.

To the south of Syracuse, Brighton Pediatrics says they're seeing tons of kids with the flu, strep throat, and sinus infections. 

On the city's east side, Dr. Freshman says just about every parent who's called and every child who's come in has flu symptoms. He's frustrated that he has no vaccine to give to children at high risk.

It’s the same situation in Liverpool, where Dr. Dracker says there's no reduction in cases of the flu, and he’s also out of seasonal flu shots.

In Pulaski, Dr. Carguello is seeing flu, strep throat and Fifths Disease.

In Auburn, Dr. Graneys office is seeing flu, strep throat and sinus infections.

In Cicero, Dr. Terasaka says it's the flu, strep, croup and bronchitis.

What's going around is our way of letting you know what illnesses are out there. Your own doctor can tell you about the best treatments.
