What should you do if your child develops a fever, cough, vomiting, rash, sore throat or head injury? What should you do about behavioral issues, from toilet training to teaching responsibility to teenagers? These are questions that all parents have. And, questions about kids health and parenting issues can arise anytime evenings, weekends, when youre at work or traveling or your doctors office is closed.Thats why Peyton Manning Childrens Hospital at St.Vincent offers 4Kids Health- designed especially for these concerns and challenges. Our care guides and parenting tips help you make smart decisions on what level of care (if any) is needed and how to provide symptom relief for minor illnesses or injuries you can manage on your own. 4Kids Health is derived from the clinical protocols used by pediatricians and nurses in 10,000 practices and 400 nurse advice call centers in the US and Canada. They have been tested for 15 years on more than 150 million symptom calls.The parenting tips deal with the most common behavior and wellness questions parents ask their physicians. Each topic provides a description of the issue, three to five specific recommendations to address the concern, and (often) additional resources which may be useful to your situation. The advice messages can be quickly located by using the alphabetical index, category index or keyword search.The 4Kids Health APP features easy navigation to check your childs symptoms, first aid guide, and parenting tips topics, and includes the following: * Definition which describes the focus of the care guide so you can decide if its a good fit for your childs symptoms.
