What should you do when your child falls or gets a bump on the head? Do you need to go to the emergency department now? Is the croupy cough that just started serious? These are questions that all of us have. And frequently they arise in the evenings and weekend when you doctor's office is closed.

Pediatric HouseCalls Online is designed especially for these times. The topics help you make the appropriate decisions on what level of medical care (if any) is needed and how to provide symptom relief for minor conditions at home. A Decision Chart (When to Call Your Doctor Chart) is provided for each topic.
