The kids are back in school and sore throats are back. Now let's check in with our doctor's offices to find out "What's Going Around."

In Camillus, Dr. Rovall is seeing lots of kids with sore throats. No strep throat to report, they've all been viral. She's also treating children with colds and a fever.

Sore throats are also the big complaint in Liverpool, Summerwood Pediatrics also tells us they're viral, not strep. Other kids are coming in because their allergies and asthma are bothering them.
