This large book is a comprehensive and very modern guide that ought to be in every family home where there are children.
When Your Children Are Sick is on the one hand a traditional medical book about children with an exclusive table of symptoms and detailed descriptions of illnesses, on the other hand an important source of information for parents who want answers to all the questions that crop up when a child falls ill: How do you give medicine to a child who protests? How do you get healthcare abroad? How can you deal with your (and your partner’s) worries when the children are ill? How do you avoid unnecessary infection in nursery school? How can you interpret the symptoms? What happens inside the body? When is it time to seek help?
