 When to Call the Doctor
This program is
designed to help parents and caregivers recognize signs and
symptoms that indicate illness or injury in young children, and
which might indicate a need for medical attention. It is
not intended for diagnosis or treatment purposes. Caregivers
should always contact their health consultant or a health care
provider. Content includes finding a "medical home;"
preventive care, immunizations, and check-ups; signs and
symptoms that indicate a need for medical attention, or
emergency medical help; injuries; allergic reactions; and dental
health. Participants will discuss ways to prepare children for
doctor and hospital visits, questions to ask the doctors, and
information and health records.
