A concise, to-the-point and readable handbook for parents, grandparents and others who mind children, this book enables the reader to quickly identify symptoms, examine their possible causes, and deter­mine the best way to proceed: how to help the sick child, and when to consult a doctor.

You get expert, up-to-date information on a broad spectrum of children's health issues, covering all stages of children's lives from birth through adolescence. Medical students will thus also find the book helpful.

Also included is helpful information on how a child reacts to a disease, giving an overview of the fundamentals, such as fever, vaccina­tion and the possible side-effects, diet, visits to the doctor, admission to hospital, pain treatment, first aid, etc.
