Ailments and Simple Treatments |
Common Ailments and Simple Treatments These are mostly the same as for adults, however as a parent you may well need to contact the Practice for extra advice from time to time. The main section for General Medical Advice also includes notes about children. Your local Pharmacist can be a great source of advice about which medications are suitable and how much to give.
Special Note on Meningitis This is VERY RARE and generally the child becomes ill very suddenly with a reddish blue or violet rash which does not disappear if pressed. CONTACT YOUR GP OR CALL AN AMBULANCE AT ONCE IF IT OCCURS. |
