WHEN SHOULD I WORRY? Your guide to Coughs, Colds, Earache & Sore Throats in children

If you understand more about the illness it can help you to feel more in control.

'WHEN SHOULD I WORRY? Your guide to Coughs, Colds, Earache & Sore Throats' is a booklet for parents/carers (and older children) and deals with common infections in children who are normally healthy. It is not meant for children who have ongoing health problems such as asthma, heart, or kidney problems. You should not rely on the advice in this leaflet for children who are less than 3 months old. Babies younger than this can respond differently to infections.
