Is your child sick?
Why is it children always seem to get sick just after your doctor's office closes? Nothing makes a parent more anxious than a sick child.
How do you know if your child needs simple home treatments, a visit to the doctor the next morning, or to be seen and treated immediately?
This information is designed to help parents and caregivers make appropriate decisions on what level of medical care, if any, is needed and how to help your child feel better at home.
