All Symptoms (A to Z)
Should Your Child See a Doctor?
These guidelines (topics) are intended to help you determine how sick your child is and if you need to call your child's doctor. Their second purpose is to help you treat your child at home when it is safe to do so.
For a symptom checker in Spanish, use Verificador de síntomas on HealthyChildren.org.
Important!
Your doctor's advice and your good judgment should always take precedence over information in these guidelines. Please be sure to read our instructions for new users.
