Parental Advice
Having children can be stressful enough as it is but it's even more stressful when they become unwell. All children become ill from time to time and most illnesses can pass as quickly as they came. Many viruses and infections pass on their own and can be treated with normal over the counter medications to relieve symptoms, but some may require medical attention or intervention such as antibiotics.
Knowing when to seek medical advice can be confusing, which is why we're sharing the following parent information sheets to help inform you about your childs illness, what you can expect and when you should look to seek advice:
