"When should I be worried?"

​
Knowing when to reasonably worry is one of the hardest lessons that parents need to learn.

In my many years at Noe Valley Pediatrics, I have calmed down countless moms and dads who were in a panic over a mild virus.
On the other end of the spectrum, and much more of a concern are the parents who don't recognize that their child is very ill and needs immediate medical attention.

​

In this class we will learn rules about "when to worry."

​

Topics will include fevers, rashes, coughs, colds, and tummy bugs.

​

I  will talk about common seasonal illnesses and any other health issues that are on your minds.

 

I will review common medication dosages and how to stock your medicine chest

​

This class is fine for parents with children of any age, but I often suggest waiting until they are a few months old before taking it.

​

If your infant is under 2 months old and is ill, I expect you to be calling your physician, not figuring out how to manage things at home!
