101 Health Problems Of Children

Well-informed parents who take an active part in their child's healthcare can help the doctor provide the best treatment to their child. The more knowledgeable you are regarding your child's medical problem and its complexities, the better are your chances of getting the right treatment for the child. The purpose of this book is to educate and involve parents in their child's medical care and to ensure that nothing is left to chance. This book tells you what to do and more importantly what not to do when your child:

• Has high fever
• Starts bleeding from the nose
• Screams due to earache
• Keeps vomiting continuously
• Has severe diarrhoea
• Ingests liquid detergent
• Gets an attack of asthma
• Starts convulsing
• Becomes unconscious
• Stops breathing
• Pushes a crayon up his nose

An object gets lodged in his windpipe (and much more…) Of course, you should rush to the hospital, but there are several little things you can do at home which may help your child.
