Features: Fatigue, easy exhaustion, loss of appetite—these seemingly trivial symptoms may hide severe underlying illnesses. If your child has a fever, vomiting, nasal congestion, or developmental delays, having a general idea of the symptoms can reduce some of your worries. Open the corresponding chapter for symptoms, and you will learn whether these symptoms are nothing serious, require emergency treatment, or should be addressed by visiting the hospital for early detection of abnormalities. This book approaches health issues from the perspective of "symptoms," guiding you on how to scientifically self-diagnose problems in adults and children. For this reason, the authors have consulted doctors who have long been involved in various clinical diseases to provide recommendations for the book. From a "reading" medical book to a "using" medical book—this is the purpose behind writing "Illustrated Family Medical Encyclopedia."
