When a child is sick, parents naturally feel very anxious. They worry greatly whether the child has a serious illness or whether the condition will worsen quickly. They need to know exactly what actions to take to help their child recover. The "Symptoms" section of this book helps you distinguish between minor ailments and symptoms that require immediate attention and treatment. While this guidance cannot replace a doctor, it can help you determine whether you can safely and effectively treat your child at home using the simple methods introduced in the book, whether you need to consult a doctor for further advice, or whether you should seek emergency care.
Regardless of whether you need to consult a doctor for further advice, you will likely have many questions about your child's illness: What is the cause? Is it serious? How should it be treated? How long will it take to recover? This book covers common childhood illnesses and provides introductions to all the questions you may have, along with medical advice. When your child has a health issue and you need to make quick decisions, we hope this book will truly help you by providing the knowledge you need.
