Article The Info EVERY Parent Should Have On Their Fridge

6 Comments

When your child is unwell we often don’t know if we should call the doctor. This info will help you decide the best action to take.

HealthDirect has shared a chart to help parents decide what to do if their child is unwell.

It tells you when it’s time to call a doctor, how to manage symptoms at home, and even explains the difference between different thermometers.

It’s something every parent should print off and have on their fridge, ready to refer to when the seemingly inevitable moment comes.

  • As a parent i think you know in your heart when its time to seek help.
    i was always very intune with my kids and my Doctor got to the point where he would laugh at me and told me to wait 24hrs before calling him. I always knew the day before that they would be sick.

  • This is a great and useful chart. It helps someone to act in a way that they may not be able to otherwise. In panic, it may be too hard to make a decision. But this infographic, is clear, self explanatory and would be a great help.
