Keeping Your Kids Out of the Emergency Room is an essential guide to the most common illnesses, injuries, and ailments that send kids to the ER, and when particular symptoms warrant those trips or not. Christopher Johnson, a seasoned pediatrician, offers a go-to resource for all new parents and parents of young children, providing solid information on those instances when a trip to the ER is essential, when a trip to the doctor will suffice, and when a wait and see approach works best. He tackles all the most common ailments that cause parents to wonder if they should take their child to the emergency department. Since these problems appear as a bundle of symptoms, not a diagnosis, the book is organized around what parents actually see in front of them. It also teaches parents how emergency departments work, so the experience is understandable when a trip to the ER is essential. --;To go or not to go : the parents' dilemma -- What should you do? -- Fever -- Coughs, sneezes, sore throats, and ear aches -- Breathing troubles -- Digestive and abdominal problems -- Bumps and conks on the head -- Sprains, dislocations, and broken bones -- Cuts, lacerations, and other skin injuries -- Rashes -- Overdoses, poisonings, and bites -- Headaches, convulsions, and altered mental states -- Allergic reactions -- Other miscellaneous conditions -- A parents' guide to how emergency departments work -- Suggestions for finding further information.
