It can be difficult for parents to know when to seek medical attention for their child's illness. Some illnesses can be managed at home with rest and over-the-counter medications, while others require medical intervention. Here are some signs to look out for that may indicate the need for medical attention.

##Fever

If your child has a fever that lasts longer than three days, or if the fever is accompanied by other symptoms such as a rash, difficulty breathing, or seizures, seek medical attention.

##Breathing Difficulties

If your child is having trouble breathing, seek medical attention immediately. Signs of breathing difficulties include rapid breathing, wheezing, and blue lips or face.

##Dehydration

If your child is vomiting or has diarrhea and is unable to keep fluids down, seek medical attention. Signs of dehydration include dry mouth, sunken eyes, and decreased urine output.

##Severe Pain

If your child is experiencing severe pain, such as a headache, stomach ache, or earache, and over-the-counter pain medication is not providing relief, seek medical attention.

##Infection

If your child has an infection that is not improving with home care or is accompanied by a high fever, seek medical attention. Signs of an infection include redness, swelling, and warmth around the affected area.

Remember that you know your child best, so if you are concerned about their health, it is always better to err on the side of caution and seek medical attention.
