When Should You Call Your Pediatrician?

What do you do when you need medical advice after-hours? Do you wait until your Pediatrician's office opens in the morning, go to the emergency room, look for help online, or simply go to the ER? While you usually don't need to call your doctor for every runny nose and cough or to just get a dose of Tylenol, you do want to know what signs to look for and be able to recognize more serious symptoms that may mean that your child is really ill.

Learn how to recognize when your child is sick and needs medical attention, so that you can get your child help when he needs it and prevent unnecessary visits to the doctor or emergency room.
