Hidden Oaks Preserve, Pelican Harbor and summer mishaps

Hidden Oaks Preserve on Trout Farm Road is run by the Forest Preserve District of Will County. It has a paved stretch of the DuPage River Trail, a natural-surface hiking trail and shoreline fishing at the Hidden Lakes Trout Farm ponds. The CDC says ticks are most active from April through September in grassy, brushy or wooded areas, and it advises a full-body check after time outdoors: under the arms, in and around the ears, behind the knees and in the hair.
A tick that will not let go: HealthyChildren.org advises fine tweezers close to the skin and a slow, steady pull, with no petroleum jelly, nail polish or heat. If it stays stuck, see our tick bite care

For fever, ear pain or a sore throat, either clinic works. The Jewel-Osco clinic takes walk-ins, and its direct line is (630) 541-6113.
Both clinics are open weekdays 9 AM to 6 PM and weekends 9 AM to 5 PM, with free parking. Teens who need a form signed before the season can come for school and sports physicals.

Does a Will County address change anything for my child's visit?
No. We see children from any county, and your address does not change the care your child receives. What matters for billing is your insurance plan. Call (630) 324-6825 to confirm it, or ask about self-pay visits, which start at $125.
How can I tell swimmer's ear from a middle ear infection?
HealthyChildren.org explains that swimmer's ear is an infection of the outer ear canal, often after time in the water, and it tends to hurt when the ear is pulled or pushed or when your child chews. A middle ear infection sits behind the eardrum. A clinician can look in the ear and tell them apart.
Will my child need antibiotics for an ear infection?
Not always. The American Academy of Pediatrics says about 80% of childhood ear infections clear up on their own, so doctors may watch for 48 to 72 hours first. Antibiotics are more likely for children under 2 or for severe infections. Our clinician will explain the plan for your child.
Should I bring the tick we pulled off my child?
If you saved it, yes. Seal it in a small bag and bring it along. It can help your clinician judge the bite. Watch the spot for the next few weeks, and come in if a rash spreads or your child gets a fever.
