For educational purposes only
This guide is educational information for parents and caregivers about children's health — it is not medical advice, diagnosis, or treatment, and it is not a substitute for care from a qualified pediatrician or doctor. It does not diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent any condition. See your child's doctor for check-ups, vaccinations, and any concern, and follow your pediatrician and your national immunization schedule. Trust your instincts. Seek emergency care or call 911 for a baby under 3 months with any fever, trouble breathing or fast/laboured breathing, blue or grey lips, a stiff neck, a rash that doesn't fade when pressed, severe dehydration, a seizure, or a child who is unresponsive or very hard to wake.
