Handy advice for parents with young children

Every parent or carer wants to know what to do when a child is ill. Almost all babies, toddlers and children aged up to five will get the most common childhood illnesses like chickenpox, colds, sore throats and ear infections. These are easy to treat with a visit to your GP and then cared for at home.

Sandwell & West Birmingham CCG have put together a handbook, with help from doctors, which gives you some helpful advice on common childhood illnesses.

Please click on the file below for the handbook.
