Since the beginning of 2022, masks have been compulsory indoors in Basel schools for children from elementary school age 1.

To make it easier for the children to use the mask, we would like to give the following tips:

• Headaches and dizziness can be positively influenced with clearer breathing and a conscious breathing technique. A more upright sitting posture and active relaxation exercises can also have a preventive effect.

• Mask strap extensions/ear protectors for masks improve wearing comfort and prevent tension headaches.

• Essential oils (eucalyptus / rosemary / rose) lightly introduced into the mask, open airways, have a positive effect on nausea, balance and can promote concentration.

• Keep a positive attitude despite the circumstances, let kids get outside and move around a lot after school, during the "mask-free" time.

• Talk to the children about the situation and encourage them: let's explain to the children why the mask should be worn in the current situation and that even this requirement will most likely only be for a short time.

Sometimes you can't wait until Monday... That's why we are now also there for you at the weekend!

Starting August 21, 2021, we will also open our emergency practice on Saturday mornings from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. for urgent appointments for our patients, young and old.

You can reach us by telephone on Saturday from 8 a.m. onwards on the usual number 061 201 01 01.

We are moving in together. The pediatricians of Laufenstrasse 44 (former Practice Dr. Schneider) are from 1 March at Güterstrasse 90 there for you. Nothing changes for your family in terms of individual care.

From the March 1 we would like to welcome you to our new premises in the courtyard of Güterstrasse 90. The common Phone number is 061 201 01 01.

We are proud. The pilot project "Social counselling in the family practice" could start on 1.2.2021 at Youkidoc. Ms Dunia Vetter mediates and organises relief options in everyday family life, advises on insurance law issues and provides support in clarifying financing problems.

At the beginning of the new year, we are very happy to welcome 2 new doctors at Youkidoc:

- Dr.med. Andreas Spaenhauer-Horànyi, as a very experienced pediatrician, brings all his knowledge and skills from over 10 years of practice to our center for you.
- Marie-Louise Decker, MD, also complements our pediatric services with her profound expertise.

We are happy to welcome both of them to our team and look forward to a successful collaboration that will benefit our patients.

Here for you. The new coronavirus will keep us busy for some time to come. In our practice, hygiene measures are consistently implemented. Patients with suspected infection with the new coronavirus are given appointments quickly. They are cared for in their own rooms and do NOT have close contact with other patients (e.g. waiting room).

What beats clear and direct communication? We wish we could reach you by e-mail, because in the future you will only receive information from us via e-mail and telephone/SMS.
