The Baby Directory Guide to Children's Health
Most children survive childhood without severe illness, however all children will suffer from minor complaints and common infectious disease. If you are at all worried about your child you should consult your family doctor.
These pages list common symptoms which your child may have—and the likely causes—together with appropriate remedies.
It is generally safer to see your own doctor during normal surgery times, rather than calling him or her out at night, since you will be more likely to see your own doctor who knows you well. But
if your child seems sick do not hesitate to contact a doctor at any time.
Vaccination in childhood against
measles, mumps, rubella (German measles), diphtheria, tetanus, whooping cough, polio and Haemophilus meningitis has been very successful in reducing the incidence of these diseases and their complications.
The information given here is of a general nature and should not be construed to represent specific advice. You should always consult your own family doctor. The Baby Directory accepts no responsibility for any injury, illness, damage or
loss of any kind allegedly arising from the perusal of these pages by
any person.
