Keeping Children Healthy During the Winter with Smart Check by Tylenol

With the winter months in full swing, many parents are looking for ways to keep their children healthy and flu-free. Coast to Coast is joined by pediatrician and parenting expert, Dr. Mona Amin, who shares some tips for keeping kids healthy this winter season!

Dr. Amin has teamed up with the number one pediatrician-recommended brand for pain and fever relief, Tylenol, to launch the Smart Check Digital Ear Scope, a tool that allows parents and caregivers to check for potential ear infections in the comfort of their own homes.

Since ear infections are on the rise during cold and flu season, Dr. Amin wants parents to know that they can be proactive about their children’s ear infections, with the Smart Check Digital Ear Scope. This innovative tool by Tylenol is an easy odoscope device that allows parents to remotely capture and share video recordings of their child’s eardrum to share with their healthcare provider, who can then check for a potential ear infection.

What was once a tool only for professionals, is now an easy-to-use device that can help parents be proactive about their child’s health! The odoscope simply slides over the camera of most iPhone and Android devices and allows parents to capture high-quality recordings of the eardrum with the Smart Check app. 

Though Telehealth may seem daunting, Dr. Amin wants parents to know that it is a good at-home option for busy families. “I have found that it is most helpful for parents looking for that reassurance or that peace of mind. It will never take the place of in-person care by a clinician, but what it can do is give you that peace of mind, reassurance, provide some monitoring tips that you can do, and also guidance on if your child needs to be seen in person,” she explains.
